Pterygoid implants are placed in the jaw bone in
the pterygomaxillary process of the sphenoid, taking advantage of the
bone density for greater long-term stability.
Although the procedure is similar to that of implants
conventional, requires meticulous preliminary work of the
surgeon to guarantee correct insertion, avoiding
complications and ensuring successful osseointegration.
