Key points • Maxillary ablative defects—the Brown classification is the system used most widely to describe maxillary defects; this system also is beneficial in guiding reconstructive techniques and options. •…
Key points • Four well-distributed zygomatic implants (quad zygoma) is a first-line approach in severe maxillary atrophy or a rescue therapy after implant failure. • Adequate implant stability allows immediate…
Key points • A systematic preoperative evaluation is an essential basis to identify challenges, risks, and limitations to establish an accurate treatment plan. • The understanding of anatomic differences provides…
Key points • Zygoma implants with or without traditional dental implants are a safe and predictable first line of treatment in lieu of more time-consuming and financially burdensome traditional bone…
Key points • The armamentarium for zygomatic implants includes zygoma retractors, specific drills and burrs, depth gauge, inserting hand tools, prosthetic tools, and multiple angulated abutments from 0° to 60°….
Key points • When indicated, Zygomatic implants can offer a graftless approach to patients with severely atrophic maxilla. • The time from surgical intervention to final prosthetic restoration can be…
Intraoral distalizers associated with skeletal anchorage provide the major benefit of promoting molar distalization with minimum anchorage loss and patient cooperation. This case report presents the treatment of a 17-year-old…
Introduction The objectives of this study were to evaluate postsurgical condylar remodeling using a radiographical interpretation, quantify condylar volumetric asymmetry, and assess soft tissue symmetry after simultaneous unilateral high condylectomy…
Introduction Fabrication of orthodontic aligners directly via 3-dimensional (3D) printing presents the potential to increase the efficiency of aligner production relative to traditional workflows; however tunable aspects of the 3D-printing…
Introduction Control of overbite is considered essential in achieving ideal orthodontic outcomes. Questions have been raised regarding the accuracy of ClinCheck software (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) in predicting posttreatment outcomes…
