Tubero Pterygoid implants
Pterygoid implant insertion is an alternative to avoid sinus-lifting or other grafting procedures to treat the posterior maxilla.
What is Tubero Pterygoid Implant ?
Tubers pterygoid implants in Singapore are for patients who do not have enough bone for ordinary implants.
These implants are placed in the 2nd molar area of the upper jaw, known as the sphenoid bone, which is a part of the base of the skull. The dental implants are anchored to the Pterygomaxillary buttress of the upper jaw and allow immediate loading of the implants.
With this procedure, sinus lifts and bone grafts are not performed. This can save the patient up to 6 months of treatment time using conventional sinus lift/ bone graft means.
