The GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) technique

The GBR (Guided Bone Regeneration) technique

The guided bone regeneration technique (GBR) is used to facilitate bone regeneration when the thickness of the bone in the jaw is insufficient for the placement of a dental implant. After placement of the implant, the area of bone deficiency is coated with autogenous bone (the patient's own bone) and/or with an artificial bone replacement...

What is the difference between zygomatic and pterygoid implants?

These two types of implants, because they have a longer length than regular implants, are in a special category of dental implants used in cases where the patient has significant bone loss. Like most regular implants, zygomatic (or zygomatic) and pterygoid implants are made of titanium, and the biggest difference between them is their placement...

Zygomatic implants: the ultimate solution to bone loss

The loss of teeth in the maxilla has as an irreversible consequence: the gradual loss of the bone that supports them, a process that can continue its course until eventually the bone disappears almost completely, making it almost impossible to place implants.

Did you know that it is possible to regenerate bone around teeth and improve their prognosis?

Periodontal disease destroys the tissues that hold the teeth, the best known / popular is the alveolar bone and, therefore, that if treatments are not directed to stop it, the teeth lose their support and begin to move until they are lost spontaneously or they have to be extracted since this mobility causes discomfort and...
