CLINICAL CASE

Hybrid-zygoma surgery with the new NobelZygoma™ TiUltra™ implants

Dr. Rubén Davó

Patient: A 65-year-old female with no systemic conditions and a history of a previously failed sinus lift on the right side.

Clinical situation: The patient presents with four mobile, terminal teeth in the maxilla supporting a fixed bridge. She has a fixed prosthesis supported by six implants in the mandible.

Proposed surgical treatment: Extraction of the remaining maxillary teeth with immediate implant placement, consisting of two anterior NobelParallel™ implants and two 40mm NobelZygoma™ TiUltra™ implants. The plan includes immediate loading with a pre-fabricated provisional PMMA prosthesis.

Temporization: Immediate loading of the implants with a 3D-printed provisional prosthesis, secured on Multi-Unit Temporary Abutments during the initial healing phase.

Surgery date: February 9, 2024

Total treatment time: 4 months including the definitive prosthesis. The provisional prosthesis was delivered the same day of the surgery.
