Understanding Pterygoid Implants

What Are Pterygoid Implants?

Pterygoid implants are long dental implants anchored in the pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone, located behind the upper jaw. This technique is widely used in full mouth rehabilitation, All-on-4 / All-on-6 treatments, and cases of atrophic maxilla.

They provide strong posterior support, making them one of the best options for implant-supported fixed teeth in patients with low bone density.

Pterygoid Implants are widely used in:

• Full arch restoration in upper jaw (posterior support)

• Cases with severe upper jaw bone loss (atrophic maxilla)

• Avoiding sinus lift or bone graft procedures

• Support for All-on-4 / All-on-6 treatments

• Immediate loading cases (fixed teeth in a shorter time)
