PROSTHETIC RESTORATION OF THE MAXILLA USING ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS AND BIO-CAM PROSTHESIS
Patients who have been missing teeth for a long time and require an implant or prosthesis-based restoration usually have severe maxillary atrophy requiring treatment with advanced surgical and prosthetic techniques. This is the case study of a 74-year old male patient with severely atrophic mandibles that were restored with zygomatic implants and a Bio-CAM prosthesis.
After studying the case by way of photos, videos, wax-ups and stereolithographic models, a treatment plan for the maxilla was established consisting of the placement of 4 standard implants in the premaxilla and 2 posterior zygomatic implants. A plan including periodontal treatment and an anterior removable denture was established for the mandible.
Following implant placement, an immediate prosthesis was fitted. After 6 months, a permanent prosthesis designed by the laboratory and fabricated by Ticare’s Bio-CAM milling centre was fitted.
After 5 years, the prosthesis is stable with no signs of biological or mechanical complications.

Dr. Hom-Lay Wang - conferencia Sepa 2022

Dr. Hom-Lay Wang conference sponsored by Ticare in SEPA 2022

Dr. Hom-Lay Wang gave a conference sponsored by Ticare focused on management of peri-implant complications.

Dr. Wang began by recognizing predisposing and precipitating factors associated with peri-implant complications, helping dentists to learn how to prevent future implant complications, and how to select proper treatment for different implant complications. Dr. Wang shared recent research findings of how restorative designs influence the incidence of implant complications, as well as the mechanisms of how implant bone loss and implant failure occurred at the conference, especially demonstrated how to manage implant biological complications using EP-DDS guided bone regeneration protocol.

Dr. Wang also highlighted Ticare Perio Hybrid implants: “Ticare Hybrid implants concept is what I have talked for more than 10 years, which with the polished collar to compensate for the supper crustal tissue at the region, so called biological width. When you have that space, the soft tissue attaches to it,
