What are pterygoid implants?

Because pterygoid implants pass through and over the maxillary sinus before anchoring in the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone, they are categorized as trans-sinus implants. It is definitely one of the greatest techniques for upper arch rehabilitation. The use of pterygoid implants has been around for a while and it has a long clinical history. This treatment can restore a smile in cases of severe bone atrophy. The difficulties of accessing this part of the mouth is compensated for by technology, since guided computer surgery allows us to perform the implant procedure with extreme precision, placing the pterygoid implants at an angle, successfully avoiding the interior wall of the sinus. 

The placement of pterygoid implants

Studies and clinical experience have shown that certain pterygomaxillary structures, such as the sphenoid bone plates, have a high bone density and are very stable for implants. Because of this density, which offers superior anchoring stability compared to any other region on the maxilla, pterygoid implants are positioned inside the pterygoid plate, directly behind the first molar of the upper arch.

If you have lost every tooth in your upper arch, additional anchoring points for the permanent prosthesis can be added utilizing a mix of pterygoid and zygomatic implants. This well-proven combined approach reduces treatment duration, removes the need for bone transplants and decreases the likelihood of failure. Here is a brief table chart to help you better understand how pterygoid implants compare to other types of implants.

How do pterygoid implants work?

Pterygoid implants are carefully placed in the pterygoid bone, hence the name. The bone is located in the posterior part of the upper jaw. Unlike normal implants, this technique makes use of the bone that already exists in the pterygoid region, saving the need for drawn-out bone grafting procedures. Dr. Roland Zhuka is one of the most reputable dental surgeons in the region. He offers patients a minimally invasive means of addressing substantial bone loss. He has years of experience performing pterygoid implants in Albania, delivering exceptional results even in the most complex cases! 

The first step towards an amazing smile makeover is a thorough examination and consultation with Dr. Zhuka. During this process we will assess your oral health, monitor the condition of the posterior maxilla, and determine whether pterygoid implants are the right course of treatment for you. At our clinic, we prioritize providing patients with a personalized treatment plan that considers their unique needs and challenges.

As soon as suitability is determined, we will proceed with the process of placing the pterygoid implants. By carefully positioning the dental implants in the pterygoid bone, a strong foundation for the replacement teeth is created. Even in situations when there is a great deal of bone loss or anatomical restriction, this positioning guarantees safe anchoring sites. Here is a bullet point list depicting the steps involved in pterygoid implant surgery:

Preoperative assessment

  • Thorough examination of oral health.
  • Dental x-rays and imaging for bone density and anatomy.
  • Careful review of medical history.
  • Formation of a personalized treatment plan.

Anesthesia administration

  • Determining suitable anesthesia for the patient.
  • Administration of anesthesia, tailored to the patient’s preferences and medical considerations.

Incision and flap elevation

  • Incision in the mucosa over the posterior maxilla.
  • Elevation of the flap to expose the pterygoid region.

Pterygoid bone access and preparation

  • Osteotomy to prepare the bone for implant placement.
  • Creation of site accommodating implant dimensions.

Implant placement

  • Insertion of implants into the prepared pterygoid bone sites.
  • Use of advanced surgical techniques for precise positioning and optimal stability.

Suture and flap closure

  • Suturing of the surgical site to promote adequate wound healing.
  • Flap closure with careful attention to maintaining surgical site integrity.

Postoperative healing and care

  • Provision of detailed postoperative care instructions.
  • Guidance on oral hygiene, dietary restrictions and prescribed medications.
  • Initial healing period for osseointegration.

Prosthetic attachment

  • Placement of the prosthetic components, including the abutments and custom replacement teeth, upon sufficient osseointegration.
  • Precise adjustments for efficient occlusion and aesthetics.
