SELF BONE GRAFT AND SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF IMPLANTS IN UPPER JAWBONE

Abstract

Summary. Self bone graft and simultaneous application of implants in upper jawbone. The implant supported rehabilitation of upper back sectors, sometimes, is conditioned to the pneumatization of the jawbone and so, reducing the possibility to apply the implants when the bone portion is inferior to 4 mm (important condition for the primary stability). The great rise of the jawbone and the simultaneous application of implants is, surely, the condition to have the best success guarantees compared to the only application of filling material. The surgical technologies used in the self bone grafts are various (Ilium crest, calvaria, fibula) and so also for implant applications. In this article we want to put in evidence a new technology in order to reduce at the minimum the invasive surgery of the removal and the patient morbidity. It has been executed a longitudinal study on 21 consecutive cases and illustrated by a clinical one; the success was of 94.5%. The advantages of this technique are: 1) Functional and anatomical recovery of the jaw cavity 2) Immediate application of implants with a thickness of remaining bone in fervor to 4 mm. 3) Reduction of surgical times 4) Reduced morbidity of the patient 5) Local an anesthesia.
