Computed tomography-aided descriptive analysis of maxillary and mandibular atrophies
Journal of Stomatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2019The aim of the present retrospective chart review was to analyze by Computed Tomography (CT) scan technique the degree of maxillomandibular atrophies, searching for differences between totally- and partially-edentulous subjects, and possibly identify and classify maxillomandibular atrophy staged patterns for implant planning in both totally- and ...

Varying treatment strategies for reconstruction of maxillary atrophy with implants
Implant Dentistry, 1994This report describes the outcome of maxillary implant reconstruction in 98 consecutively treated patients assigned to three groups based on the degree of maxillary atrophy as noted on radiographic examination and method of treatment. In group 1, 33 patients had 83 implants installed following sinus and/or nasal mucosal lift procedures.

The quad zygoma approach for immediate rehabilitation of severe maxillary atrophy
Clinical Dentistry Reviewed, 2021The “quad zygoma” concept involves the insertion of four zygomatic implants, with adequate anteroposterior spread and correct inclination for the distribution of forces, as a means of rehabilitating patients presenting insufficient bone height in the anterior and posterior maxilla.

Sinus Reformation for Management of Maxillary Posterior Bone Atrophy
Journal of Craniofacial SurgeryIntroduction: Implant rehabilitation in the posterior maxilla with critical residual bone height (≤6 mm) requires maxillary sinus floor augmentation techniques, although controversy exists regarding the necessity of heterologous bone grafts.

Treatment of extreme maxillary atrophy with Zygoma implants.
Minerva stomatologica, 2015The implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of severe maxillary atrophy often requires difficult bone grafting techniques or microvascularized flaps with long healing time and severe discomfort for the patients. An alternative is represented by the use of particular thick bone areas like "zygomatic buttresses" that are away from the alveolar ridge but they ...

[Correction of maxillary atrophy with onlay-plasty].
Fogorvosi szemle, 2003Following tooth loss, augmentation of the extensively atrophized alveolar ridge of the maxilla may be necessary, in order to restore the masticatory function by the replacement of teeth anchored on implants. A number of bone augmentation methods are available for the acceptance of implants. The aim of the presented report is to summarize our experience

Benefits of Maxillary Expansion for a Patient With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2019Abstract This case report involves a 10-yr-old boy diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 who underwent nighttime mechanical ventilation with bilevel positive airway pressure. The oral examination revealed restricted mouth opening, lip interposition, dental crowding, and maxillary compression.

Pericranium graft in reconstructive surgery of atrophied maxillary bones.
Minerva stomatologica, 2008In preprosthetic surgery the autologous bone is universally considered the gold standard. Calvaria is, among many options, one of the preferred for its unique characteristics of hardness, easy of harvest and very low morbidity at donor site. Moreover, it gives the possibility of harvesting the pericranium.

A principal components analysis: how pneumatization and edentulism contribute to maxillary atrophy
Oral Diseases, 2016ObjectiveThe aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the role of sinus pneumatization and residual ridge resorption in maxillary bone loss in 400 computed tomography (CT) scans.Materials and MethodsIn 200 dentate and 200 edentulous patients, both sinuses were analysed using CT scans.

Management of Severe Maxillary Atrophy in a Patient With Hay-Wells Syndrome
Journal of Craniofacial SurgeryAnkyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome (AEC), also known as Hay-Wells syndrome, is a rare systemic disorder that affects the development of derivatives of ectodermal tissues, which in some cases results in the development of severe maxillary atrophy.
