Immediate loading of maxillary denture prostheses in the context of severe bone atrophy is complicated by posterior implant placement, sometimes requiring a complex surgical approach as zygomatic or pterygoid implants. To overcome this complexity, the authors developed an extra-long (20–24 mm) 24-degree angulated platform. It was tested on 33 patients, with 24 patients immediately loaded (72.7%) for a total of 115 implants (46% nasal). All delayed loading implants osseointegrated. Eight bilateral and six unilateral sinus grafts were performed. There were no complications during the follow-up period.

Abstract
Immediate loading of maxillary denture prostheses in the context of severe bone atrophy is complicated by posterior implant placement, sometimes requiring a complex surgical approach as zygomatic or pterygoid implants. To overcome this complexity, the authors developed an extra-long (20–24 mm) 24-degree angulated platform. It was tested on 33 patients, with 24 patients immediately loaded (72.7%) for a total of 115 implants (46% nasal). All delayed loading implants osseointegrated. Eight bilateral and six unilateral sinus grafts were performed. There were no complications during the follow-up period.File in questo prodotto:
