Abstract
Implant failure in the maxilla often determine significant bone loss. Patients that had already experienced regenerative surgeries such as sinus lift and/or the placement of zygomatic implants may want to avoid further complicate rehabilitation protocols. Pterygoid implants, when feasible, offer the unique opportunity of immediate loading bypassing the maxillary sinuses an extending the anterior-posterior spread of the future prosthesis. The present case series documented the long-term success of pterygoid implants in the rehabilitation of patients who had experienced the failure of zygomatic implants and standard implants in the posterior maxilla.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
