Patients, who have been told that they do not have enough bone for successful dental implant treatment, feel discouraged and overwhelmed by the limited number of options presented to them by their dentists. Many of these patients are presented with a choice of removable dentures or lengthy and invasive treatment protocols.
Some of the dilemmas denture wearers experience include sore spots on the gums from rubbing, a decrease in bite force and an inability to eat many foods. Loose dentures move around and cause embarrassment in public. Some denture wearers have difficulty speaking with whistling or clicking of denture teeth. Many people who wear dentures also complain that food tastes bland.
Successful dental implant rehabilitation of the upper arch depends on the quality and quantity of bone. The term used to describe an upper jaw with very little bone is called a severely atrophic maxilla. Rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxilla presents significant challenges for treatment. Inadequate bone volume often results in the use of bone grafting procedures that can lengthen treatment time and delay delivery of the non-removable prosthesis.
The No Bone Solution is a special treatment protocol developed at the Pi Dental Center. It combines unique computer guided implant surgery with precision screw retained fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxilla. The protocol eliminates the need for invasive bone grafting and extensive procedures.
This summer, The Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry published, A “No Bone” Treating the Atrophic Maxilla with Immediate Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis. Dr. Thomas Balshi and Stephen Balshi MBE wrote the article, which provided CE credits for dental professionals.
This article identified patients who might be candidates for this type of treatment. It discussed zygomatic and pterygomaxillary implants and described minimally invasive timesaving benefits of this protocol in comparison to sinus lift procedures.
The No Bone Solution protocol provides a restorative option for patients with severely atrophic maxillary bone. This protocol does not require bone augmentation and significantly reduces total treatment time for the patient compared to alternative procedures.
One of the main reasons patients don’t move forward with dental implant treatment is lack of bone.But now No Bone Solution is a good solution of this problem!Good post!
I know some that have done the No Bone Solution and it really does speed up recovery and is a great option.
Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
I wasn’t aware that a solution like this even existed. This is huge and I’m sure is really good news for a lot of people with atrophic Maxilla. I’m curious how much these types of dental implants cost.
Interesting Information! Made us want to dig deeper into that matter and maybe expand our implant treatment options. Especially the fact that it’s an alternative to the tedious sinus lift is quite a strong point.
Thanks for this post . we found very useful information hare about Dentistry.Good to know about the dentists and the various technologies that have made the dentistry advanced and modern and better.
It is extremely informative piece. Bone enlargement is generally utilized as a part of insert dentistry. Fundamentally, it utilized for any sort of bone volume lack issue. Appropriate volume of bone is necessary for any sort of dental inserts.
