Galileus Cerclage Sinus®: A Solution for Severe Atrophy in the Upper Jaw
In cases where there is a lack of posterior alveolar bone in the upper jaw, the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® surgical technique can be the optimal solution. This procedure utilizes the pterygoid bone, a hard and resistant portion, as an anchor for pterygoid implants. By inserting these implants into the jaw, particularly in the extreme and posterior areas, atrophy can be effectively resolved.
To complete the resolution of atrophy, nasal implants are also inserted transversely, ascending the jaw in the opposite direction. These implants encircle the maxillary sinuses, providing protection and support. The insertion of these implants forms the necessary posterior pillars for a fixed dental prosthesis, ensuring efficient chewing function and long-term stability.
One of the advantages of the Galileus Cerclage Sinus® procedure is that it eliminates the need for autologous grafts and large lifts, making it a quicker and less invasive solution. In the frontal area (premaxilla), regular dental implants are inserted to complete the support structure for the fixed dental prosthesis. These implants can be inclined or blade-shaped, depending on the conditions of the remaining bone.
Thanks to the optimal distribution of chewing forces across the entire peripheral arch of the jaw, Galileus Cerclage Sinus® supports a fixed zirconia ceramic prosthesis. This prosthesis includes all missing molars in both the frontal and posterior regions, improving chewing force distribution and allowing for complete and comfortable chewing.
One of the notable benefits of this procedure is the achievement of natural aesthetics without the need for a large frontal gum prosthesis. The handcrafted and custom-made prosthesis not only provides functional benefits but also ensures a stratospheric aesthetic result.
The Galileus Cerclage Sinus® procedure not only resolves severe atrophies of the upper jaw but also offers long-term satisfaction. With this solution, you can fully enjoy your smile for many years to come.
