Abstract
Procedure frequency in the jaws related to implant location
Highlights
The article demonstrates different procedures performed in different parts of the mouth that is of importance in the clinical practice of dental implants based on required procedures performed concurrently
There is a consistent trend of decreasing of the number of ancillary procedures that can be pre-estimated according to the location in different areas in the oral cavity
The estimated maximum is in the sinus area, followed by anterior maxilla, posterior mandible, maxillary premolars and anterior mandible
Summary
The article demonstrates different procedures performed in different parts of the mouth that is of importance in the clinical practice of dental implants based on required procedures performed concurrently. Zones 1 to 5 is formulated to better analyze implant dentistry procedure preparation during diagnostic phase based on the location that has logical sequence during examination of the alveolar ridge of both maxilla and mandible to have preexisting information regarding the demands and the clinical requirements in different zones of the jaws. This article identifies all possible ancillary procedures in different alveolar jaw regions prior, during or after implant placement and facilitates dental implant placement with better understanding of what to expect. Five zones are identified in this article in a logical sequence: Anterior mandible (Z1) with unique characteristics of anatomy, blood supply, pattern of bone resorption, posterior maxilla (Z2) with different form of bone quality and quantity, posterior mandible (Z3). Z1-Z5 locations are related to the bone quality classification of Lekholm and Zarb [15]
