Abstract
The specialty of oral maxillofacial surgery relies heavily on restoration of the oral cavity with dental implants. The foundation to longevity and health of dental implants is a good bone foundation of the alveolus. If the ridge is deficient, reconstruction of the alveolus can take place with substitution of bone, which can come from allogeneic, xenogeneic, or autologous sources. Different methods of grafting the jaws are available. Some are more invasive than others with indications dependent on the degree of bone loss or surgeon preference. Short, narrow, tilted, or special (zygomatic) implants may also be utilized if the patient refuses to undergo invasive reconstructive procedures or has contraindications to grafting Implant dentistry has many applications as it relates to maxillofacial reconstruction. Coordination with the restorative dentist to formulate a treatment plan is paramount. There are many options for prosthetic rehabilitation all with their own nuances. In this chapter, we review implant basics, bone grafting options, surgical techniques, complications, and types of surgical and prosthetic components.
For this section it is important to know the implant system you use. Know the sizes, drilling sequence, surface modification, thread distance, and abutments. It is not uncommon to be told by the examiners that there is no financial barrier to implant therapy in these cases. Make sure that you offer a defendable treatment plan based on how you would manage a case and not based on what you think the examiners want to hear.
