Summary
This study introduces a novel basal bone anchorage technique for immediate dental implant loading in severe maxillary bone atrophy. The graftless approach achieved 100% implant survival and success, offering a less invasive solution for complex oral rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Regenerative Dentistry
Background:
- Severe maxillary atrophy (Cawood Class VI) presents challenges for dental implant placement.
- Conventional treatments often require bone grafting or zygomatic implants, increasing morbidity.
- Basal bone anchorage offers a potential graftless solution for immediate loading.
