Dental Centre Martinko Offers Zygoma Implants In Trieste, Italy

Implant Centre Martinko, which has opened its second dentist office in Trieste, Italy, has announced the availability of the Zygoma implants in the newly opened Trieste dental office. Zygomatic dental implants make use of new innovative dental method that can restore the smile of patients who have been toothless for years and whose jaw has almost completely atrophied. This type of dental implant takes its name from the cheekbone.

Dr. Damir Martinko from Implant Centre Martinko explains, “The zygomatic implant method is based on the all on four technique, and the recovery process itself is fast and allows immediate loading within 24 hours of implant insertion. The zygomatic implants are between 3 and 5.5 cm long and are inserted into the area of the zygomatic bones.”

This revolutionary technique using zygomatic implants has been in use for approximately 20 years and was developed by Swedish surgeon and scientist Per-Ingvar Branemark, who has focused his research on the placement of bone implants or osseointegration. Zygomatic implants are a new option for the case of advanced bone atrophy and for patients who do not seem to be satisfactory candidates for standard dental implants.

The zygomatic implant technique is the most advanced method in dentistry for patients with extreme atrophy resulting in bone reabsorption in the jaw. It is also for patients where the standard mobile prosthesis is not a satisfactory alternative for solving the problem of edentulism.

The mobile prosthesis causes discomfort for the patients when eating or speaking either because of intolerance to the amount of material that is covering the palate or insufficient stability of the prosthesis inside the mouth. With the mobile prosthesis, the taste of food is affected and the possibility of enjoying their favorite food is very limited. For Implant Centre Martinko, it is essential to determine how the patient’s teeth were lost and to conduct a functional analysis of the bite.

The zygomatic implant method requires a team of specially trained specialists, made up of maxillofacial surgeons. The surgical method requires a unique protocol that starts with a detailed diagnostic picture of the patient. Cone beam computed tomography is particular useful for this purpose as it offers a detailed three-dimensional view of the jaw conditions, such as bone size and quality. This allows the surgeons to pick the appropriate type of implants, and the position and inclination of the implants.

A skilled and experienced maxillofacial surgeon is required because the infraorbital nerve that is involved in a number of anatomical functions has to be completely intact. With maxillofacial surgeons, the intervention has been observed to be totally safe and effective in a large number of patients who were considered to be unlikely candidates for dental implants.

The zygomatic implant procedure will need to be performed under general anesthesia and recovery will take a few days. But while this is a demanding procedure, immediate loading of the temporary fixed bridge is possible.

The choice of zygomatic implants is made when edentulous patients want to avoid an extended increase in the jaw bone or a sinus lift operation. This makes the smile restoration process quite long. However, the treatment of extreme atrophy of the upper arch of the jaw can be done with this innovative technique. Zygomatic implants offer an alternative to bone grafting, which is a procedure that requires a long time.

The oral surgery that is required for zygomatic implants is a very delicate surgical procedure and the installation of the four zygomatic implants is particularly challenging. That is why careful diagnosis must be performed first and the procedure must be done by experienced maxillofacial surgeons.
