The Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique is a groundbreaking surgical procedure that addresses severe posterior atrophies of the upper jaw without the need for invasive bone grafts. This innovative technique offers patients a solution that combines implant stability, complete masticatory functionality, and exceptional aesthetics.
Implant Placement: Basal Bones
The Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique focuses on placing implants in the posterior cortical basal bones of the upper jaw, specifically in the palatine and pterygoid bones. These bones are known for their exceptional hardness and resistance, providing a secure anchor for the implants.
Type of Pterygoid Implants
The technique utilizes long 19/21 millimeter pterygoid implants to reach the cortical pterygoid laminae. This specific type of implant ensures optimal stability and support for the posterior areas of the jaw.
Newton 100 Insertion (Section 18/28)
During the procedure, implants are inserted with a Newton force of 100 in the 18/28 section of the upper jaw. This level of force guarantees both stability and safety, ensuring successful implant integration.
Transverse Nasal Dental Implants
Transverse nasal dental implants with a length of 18/19 millimeters are strategically inserted in the 15/25 sections of the jaw. This placement technique forms a V shape that encircles the maxillary sinus, providing protection and support.
Positioning Strategy: V-shaped Encircling Positioning
The V-shaped encircling positioning strategy involves placing two transverse nasal dental implants opposite each other to form a V shape that encircles the maxillary sinus. This technique creates two pillars of resistance, which support fixed prosthetics in the posterior areas of the jaw, allowing for effective chewing.
Conclusion of the Technique: Frontal Inserts
The Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique concludes with the frontal insertion of 2-4 transverse nasal implants in the residual bone zones of the frontal premaxilla. This step ensures optimal stability and support for the entire upper jaw.
Prosthetics Specifically for the Technique: Prototype with 14 Teeth
The fixed prosthesis designed specifically for the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique offers 14 teeth, providing patients with a natural-looking smile and optimal masticatory functionality. This prosthetic solution evenly distributes masticatory forces across the entire perimeter of the upper jaw, ensuring complete 360-degree masticatory support.
Impeccable Aesthetics without False Gums
One of the key advantages of the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique is the impeccable aesthetics it offers. The fixed prosthesis does not require the use of false gums, providing patients with exceptional comfort and a natural-looking appearance.
In conclusion, the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® technique is a revolutionary solution for patients with severe posterior atrophies of the upper jaw. By utilizing basal bones, pterygoid implants, and transverse nasal dental implants, this technique offers exceptional implant stability, complete masticatory functionality, and impeccable aesthetics. Patients can regain their confidence and enjoy the benefits of a fully functional and beautiful smile.
