BAS-0 Implant for Substitution of Resected Alveolus ofMaxilla

Overview

Summary:
The author draws attention to the possibilities to substitute the defect afterresected alveolar processes of maxilla in a 19-year boy. The substitution of the defect wasperformed by means of a solid implant from the BAS-0 material as a part of the Research TaskIGA NK6065-3/2000.The substitution of a resected part of maxilla is a considerable therapeutic problem.Patientsundergoing these kinds of interventions have been so far subsequently treated with post-resectionprostheses (obturators). Such treatment brings about in some, especially young, patientsthe need to prepare these special prostheses repeatedly. In young patients, however, we makeevery effort of a solution which would return the shape and original function of the affected jaw.In our communication the author presents one of possible approached, which might be used inthe future reconstruction procedures.
