Rapid Maxillary Expansion [RME] occupies a unique position in the field of dentofacial therapies as no other technique offers such a simple means for the basal expansion of the maxillary complex bones. It provides the orthodontist with a tool, not only for widening the dental arch but also the apical base and the maxillary nasal airway. Respiration is receiving more attention as we become increasingly aware of the ravages of mouth breathing on the general health and its association with orthodontic relapse. RME with its effect in reducing nasal airway resistance must play an increasing part in orthodontics and establish a dialogue between dentistry and medicine. ...

ComplicationsReferencesFOREWORDThe extreme numbers of patients suffering from loss of important components in their oral and maxillofacial anatomy result in serious and increasing invalidity.The effects on their quality of life demands collaborating efforts to provide predictable, available and affordable rehabilitation.This book indicates opportunities ranging from advanced technology to simplified but effective possibilities. Long term follow ups indicate the importance of considering the situation of each individual patient related to the experience and capacity of the responsible doctor. Considering the future demand on simplified opportunities, it is crucial to report long term success and failure related to modified, simplified surgery as well as reliable and affordable prosthetics.To respect the facts the defects requiring anaplastologic reconstruction based on Osseointegration in combination with Osseoperception, it is a crucial responsibility to optimize the use of available biologic parts of the remaining cranio-maxillofacial skeleton.The fact that the human body is a biologic unity emphasizes the rationality of the reconstruction priority of using close by tissue for restoration of defects. This is a fundamental motivation for giving priority to the zygoma.

The number of edentulous patients with severe maxillary atrophy is growing. Often, these patients desire a return to normalcy without the need for extensive bone grafting or sinus elevation procedures, and zygomatic implants may be just the solution they are looking for. Dr Carlos Aparicio developed the zygoma?anatomy guided approach (ZAGA) so that individuals with diverse needs and anatomies can each benefit from patient-specific treatment. Learn the ins-and-outs of planning and placing zygomatic implants and providing good follow-up care. This comprehensive text is your first step toward confidence in placing zygomatic implants.

When presented with atrophic arches, clinicians often turn to invasive techniques such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus augmentation. However, using tilted implants instead can avoid these aggressive procedures, allowing the implant support to be moved posteriorly and for longer implants to be chosen. The implants can be loaded immediately to support a full-arch fixed prosthesis in multiple configurations, such as All-on-4, transsinus implants, zygomatic implants, or the authors? signature V-II-V technique. This book first presents the science and clinical evidence behind the various protocols using tilted implants, then proceeds to discuss patient evaluation, diagnostics, and planning before diving into the methods themselves. Procedures are discussed separately for each arch, highlighted by dozens of clinical cases representing a diverse range of initial situations. In addition to the surgical protocols, methods for fabricating provisional and definitive prostheses are laid out with each step illustrated and explained. This comprehensive volume truly covers everything a clinician needs to know to use tilted implants with great success for their patients.
