The PATZI surgical protocol and complete digital workflow allow for predictable surgical and restorative treatment of AOX cases. By controlling key variables, these cases become more enjoyable and relaxing to perform.

Our wonderful patient presented with gross caries and a non-restorable upper dentition, along with a loss of vertical dimension of occlusion. It is rare to encounter such an abundance of bone, and I was glad to take advantage of this clinical opportunity.

Following the PATZI protocol, we began with bilateral pterygoid implants. Strong pterygomaxillary pillars allowed insertion torque of over 50 Ncm for both implants. Moving anteriorly, two robust nasal crest implants were placed, followed by two tilted implants—all with insertion torque exceeding 50 Ncm. The cumulative torque value (CTV) exceeded 300 Ncm.

After a three-month osseointegration period, all implants demonstrated clinical integration, and the final impression was taken using the Micron Mapper and intraoral scans.

Due to the pterygoid implants significantly increasing the final prosthetic arch length, we were unable to mill the entire prosthesis from a standard 98 mm zirconia puck. Instead a 98 mm titanium disc was used to fabricate a custom titanium bar beneath the zirconia prosthesis. The PATZI protocol enabled immediate loading, and the fully digital workflow ensured a seamless transition from the temporary to the final implant-supported full-arch prosthesis.

Yesterday we had our staff meeting on culture in the office!

Our wonderful managers, Melissa and Erin, reenacted a scene from Squid Games for us! We all had to do the cookie cutting challenge!

In the challenge, players have to carefully carve out a shape (like a star, umbrella, circle, or triangle) from a thin, brittle candy made of melted sugar and baking soda- without breaking it. The game is based on a real Korean street snack that was popular in the 70s and 80s.

The first to finish without breaking the cookie were our team members, Shelby and Apryl! What a great team bonding day!

The M-4 angled implant placement approach originated from the work of Mattsson et al. (1999) and Malo et al. (2005), who utilized angled implants to avoid the sinus cavity. The M-4 configuration has since been well-documented as a biomechanically sound approach, achieving a high success rate with immediate function protocols.
After assessing the current nasal floor anatomy, I was able to place longer implants using the M-4 configuration, thereby increasing bone-to-implant contact (BIC). This approach allowed me to take advantage of the dense cortical bone located between the nasal and sinus cavities, above the nasal floor.
The M-4 configuration relies on fixation within the paranasal cortical bone. In cases of maxillary atrophy, this region often provides the only available load-bearing bone and should be considered prior to resorting to zygomatic anchorage.

Revision case using the PATZI protocol. The patient had previously received double-arch implant treatment abroad from another provider (medical tourism). Unfortunately, the upper prosthesis became mobile shortly after treatment, prompting him to seek care at our office.

Presurgical CBCT and clinical examination revealed that the bilateral distal implants had failed and become mobile, resulting in bilateral oroantral fistulae. The four anterior implants were placed too far buccally, leading to significant facial dehiscence. All implants showed probing depths of 7–11+ mm, with generalized bleeding on probing and erythematous soft tissue.

Case planning and ex*****on were performed using the PATZI protocol. Bilateral pterygoid implants were placed to increase the anteroposterior (AP) spread and eliminate the distal cantilever. Anterior implants were positioned to engage the nasal crest. Tilted implants traversed the sites of previous failed osteotomies to engage dense paranasal bone for primary stability. The oroantral communications were repaired using a collagen membrane, allograft, vertical interpositional connective tissue graft, and primary closure. All implants achieved primary stability with insertion torque exceeding 50 Ncm and a combined CTV over 300 Ncm.

After a 3-month osseointegration period, all implants demonstrated clinical stability. Due to the extended arch length enabled by the pterygoid implants, a titanium bar was fabricated beneath the zirconia prosthesis.

The PATZI protocol allowed for immediate loading, and the fully digital workflow enabled a seamless transition from the temporary to the final implant-supported full-arch prosthesis.
