Pterygoid implants are a specialized type of dental implant designed for patients who have lost significant bone in the upper jaw, especially in the back (posterior) region. Traditional implants often require bone grafting in such cases, but pterygoid implants avoid this by anchoring into the pterygoid bone, which is a dense, stable bone located near the upper jaw.
The use of Pterygoid implants is when there has been high-grade loss of bones, in instances where the molars are absent, and the jaw bone has been resorbed over the years, implants cannot be inserted safely. Pterygoid implants provide an alternative by reaching into areas where bone is still strong and stable, giving dentists the ability to support a full set of upper teeth without grafting.
There would be an upper wisdom tooth just behind the spot and sitting inside. By implanting an implant in this space and protruding as far as the upper jaw and the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone come together, one will have a robust structure of a dental implant. Prof. Dr. Vinayak and his team of implant specialists at Smilessence are leaders in advanced implant procedures, including Pterygoid implants.
