Dr. Thomas Balshi performed maxillary implant reconstruction on a patient with advanced bone loss (severely atrophic maxilla). Dr. Glenn Wolfinger and Mr. Stephen Balshi discuss the patient’s pre-operation condition and narrate surgical and prosthodontic procedures. This webinar aired live in August 22, 2011. Several dental schools in the US and colleagues from around the world were interactive in the broadcast.
About The Event:
This program demonstrated the use of NobelClinician™ (now called Nobel DTX) to virtually plan surgery for the severely atrophic maxilla in a patient who would otherwise require bilateral sinus augmentation or bone grafting. In this recorded broadcast, the surgery illustrates placement of Brånemark System implants using a stereolithic surgical template constructed from the data files of the virtual plan. After placing the anterior and pterygoid implants, the surgeon removes the surgical template and elevates full flaps to expose the lateral wall of the sinuses and the zygomatic bone. The surgeon then places two zygomatic implants on both the right and left sides. Next, the team modifies a screw-retained provisional prosthesis using the TEETH IN A DAY™ protocol to connect the standard implants to the zygomatic implants.
