We are excited to introduce the revolutionary surgical technique of Galileus Cerclage Sinus®, developed by Prof. Roberto Conte. This cutting-edge approach aims to address issues related to bone atrophy in the posterior areas of the upper jaw.

Often, patients with insufficient bone in the posterior jaw areas resort to standard solutions such as autologous bone grafts or extensive sinus lifts. However, these options can be invasive, painful, and not always ensure long-term success. Conventional techniques like All-on-4 or zygomatic implantology may have limitations in posterior chewing function and lead to aesthetic problems, such as a bulky false gum.

Galileus Cerclage Sinus® proposes an innovative and less invasive solution. In just two hours, the technique utilizes the pterygoid palatine bone, avoiding grafts and lifts. Two pterygoid implants in the posterior area and transverse implants in the frontal areas create a solid structure around the maxillary sinuses.

The key advantages of the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique are numerous. Firstly, it eliminates the need for grafts and lifts, thus avoiding invasive procedures and long waiting times. Additionally, it differentiates chewing between frontal and posterior areas, ensuring proper digestion. Unlike other techniques, it provides stable support for chewing in all regions of the upper jaw.

After only six months of healing, patients can enjoy a provisional fixed prosthesis. The final prosthesis, made of ceramic with 14 custom teeth, is completed in 5/6 days, ensuring a natural appearance and impeccable chewing function. The aesthetic process is overseen by an Italian prosthetist who collaborates with the patient to create a “circular” prosthesis, designed for complete and comfortable chewing. Patients can influence the color, shape, and size of the teeth to achieve a natural and personalized smile.

If you are tired of conventional techniques and desire the best for your dental health, contact us for more information. We organize travel, accommodation, and all logistical needs to facilitate your visit to our specialized center in Padua, Italy.

It is essential to emphasize that the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® surgical technique is not limited to atrophic patients. On the contrary, its excellence in implant placement makes it highly advisable for anyone seeking an advanced and comprehensive solution. Regardless of bone condition, the technique allows full and effective chewing, including molars. Even patients with sufficient bone benefit from Galileus Cerclage Sinus®, avoiding complex solutions like All-on-6 with a Toronto Bridge supported only on 4 implants in the frontal area.

This advanced technique is designed to offer a high quality of life to all patients, regardless of their bone situation. Its effectiveness in chewing, the natural appearance of the prosthesis, and the elimination of issues like a false gum make it an excellent choice for those seeking the highest quality in dental implant treatments.

With this additional section, I hope to emphasize that Galileus Cerclage Sinus® is a versatile and advanced solution for all patients seeking high-quality results in implant surgery.

Galileus Cerclage Sinus® vs. Maxillary Sinus Lifts: A Comprehensive Comparison

Welcome to our in-depth analysis of two surgical approaches to address severe atrophies of the upper jaw: Galileus Cerclage Sinus® and Maxillary Sinus Lifts. We will explore the distinctive features of both procedures to assist you in making an informed decision.

Galileus Cerclage Sinus®: Innovation in Implantology

Key Features:

• Sinus Encirclement and Pterygoids: Utilizes two pterygoids in the palatine pterygoid area and a nasal implant, encircling the sinus and addressing atrophy without the need for grafts or lifts.
• Precise Positioning: Strategically implanted in the 18/28 area (Pterygoids) and 15/25 area (Nasal Implant) to ensure masticatory stability.
• Minimal Invasiveness: Avoids significant lifts and grafts, providing a comprehensive solution in a single procedure.

Maxillary Sinus Lifts

Key Features:

• Bone Volume Augmentation: Uses bone grafts to increase bone volume in the maxillary sinus area.
• Implant Bed Preparation: Requires creating sufficient space for implants by lifting the sinus floor.
• Additional Complexity: Can be a more complex and invasive procedure compared to Galileus Cerclage Sinus®.

Direct Comparison: Key Points

Surgical Approach:

• Galileus: Minimizes the use of significant lifts and grafts, favoring a less invasive procedure.
• Maxillary Sinus Lifts: Requires space creation through bone grafts, potentially more invasive.

Stability and Minimal Invasiveness:

• Galileus: Provides stability with minimal invasiveness, avoiding significant grafts and lifts.
• Maxillary Sinus Lifts: Increases bone volume but with greater surgical complexity.

Time and Recovery:

• Galileus: Complete procedure in one session, potentially faster recovery.
• Maxillary Sinus Lifts: May require more time and recovery due to complexity.

Conclusion

The choice between Galileus Cerclage Sinus® and Maxillary Sinus Lifts depends on the specific needs of the patient. While both address severe atrophies, Galileus Cerclage Sinus® offers an innovative, minimally invasive approach, whereas Maxillary Sinus Lifts require additional bone grafts, increasing complexity. The decision should weigh effectiveness, invasiveness, and recovery times.
