20 Questions
What is the recommended treatment for addressing parafunctional habits in implant patients?
Occlusal guards and an ideal occlusal scheme
What is the ideal treatment for a fractured implant?
Removal and possible replacement of the implant
What is an alternative treatment to replacing a fractured implant?
Modification of the prosthesis to not include the implant and possible modification of the fractured implant (cementable abutment)
What is the range of time for implant displacement into the maxillary sinus?
From the time of surgery to 10 years after prosthetic rehabilitation
What is the recommended course of action when an implant is displaced into the maxillary sinus?
Immediate evaluation and removal
What may occur if a displaced implant is left untreated?
Calcification (antrolith) or migration into adjacent anatomic areas
What is the anatomic location that allows implants to migrate into the maxillary sinus?
The maxillary posterior region
What is the physiologic action of the maxillary sinus that affects displaced implants?
Transporting the implant into the ostium area, blocking the area and causing nonpatency
What is the likely outcome of a displaced implant that is transported into the ostium area?
Blocking the area and causing nonpatency
What is the term for a calcified displaced implant in the maxillary sinus?
Antrolith
What is the consequence of nonpatency of the maxillary ostium in oral implantology?
Infection or erosion of the implant through the ostium to other anatomic areas
How can dental implants migrate into the nasal cavity?
Via extrusion through the ostium or erosion through the medial wall of the sinus
What is the anatomic structure that coincides with the roof of the maxillary sinus?
The floor of the orbit
How can poor bone quality contribute to implant migration?
Because of the lack of density and strength, the bone cannot maintain rigid fixation of the implant
What is the consequence of overpreparation of the osteotomy site during surgery?
Insufficient bone at the crestal level to maintain rigid fixation, leading to migration
How can immediate implant placement contribute to implant migration?
Due to poor bone quality, the implant may not achieve rigid fixation
What is the likely outcome of implant migration into the ethmoid sinus?
Erosion through the superior wall of the sinus
What is the role of the osteotomy site in implant migration?
Overpreparation of the osteotomy site can lead to insufficient bone at the crestal level, causing migration
How can poor surgical technique contribute to implant migration?
Overpreparation of the osteotomy site, leading to insufficient bone at the crestal level
What is the consequence of implant migration into the orbital area?
Migration into the inferior wall of the orbit
