Zygomatic implants dental reconstruction achieved within 24 hours in people who have lost bone
A new technique of zygomatic implants dental reconstruction achieved within 24 hours in people who have lost bone, it does not require general anesthesia or hospitalization.
"This type of implant is the solution to remedy the problem that occurs when a person loses his teeth and surrounding bone," he told Europa Press the medical director of the Clinic Plénido Group Aparicio, Dr. Carlos Aparicio.
Before this technique appeared, the patient who had lost their teeth and bone that supports had to undergo a process that began with the removal of a sample of bone elsewhere in the body, such as the hip or knee. After that, it was used as a graft in the mouth, which "was placed under general anesthesia," says this expert.
This process required a "timeout" to see if "the bone lit or not," and, in the event that the answer is yes, in about two months stood teeth. Aparicio says that this procedure could take "a long year."
Conventional techniques were that "the patient should be without teeth" time in which the bone was lighting in the mouth - about 6 to 8 weeks - which, according to this expert, made him an "oral invalid" . The novelty lies in that instead of anchoring teeth "on the bone that is" becomes the "zygomatic arch."
SICK BONE LOSS
Aparicio describes the profile of a person who has lost the bone supporting your teeth as "a middle-aged woman who has lost many teeth when he was between 20 and 30 years." So, these people began with the use of dental bridges, prostheses that replace one or more missing teeth, which are supported by the teeth adjacent to the space, called pillars, in turn, gradually are lost.
This expert also notes the patient has periodontal disease, in which "the tooth is intact but the bone shrinks" until the end, "the teeth fall out" once you lose bone. There is also the case of a patient who has placed implants, "for some reason has failed" and therefore also lost jawbone.
However, Aparicio believes that this technique is effective when "resolve the situation" that has repercussions on the life of the sufferer, as difficulties in the way of relating to society or functional problems, such as eating or laughing. "He has a serious psychological burden the rest of society does not see and does not know," he insists.
ART BOOK
Recently, this expert has presented 'Zygomatic Implants. The anatomy-guided approach 'in which he explains the new technique of zygomatic implants, which has been published by scientific' Quintaessence '.
The work includes the origins and subsequent refinement of this technique, along with a list of practical situations in which this type of implants have solved the situation of these people.
The profits from the sale of this book will go to the Vicente Ferrer Foundation. Its president, Anna Ferrer, said that, through this partnership "was found to respond sanitary hundreds of children in the Neonatal unit Bathadapali Hospital (India) and built houses for many families living in huts".
