PATZi (Full-Arch Confidence Starts Here)

· Those in Krakow looking to restore full upper teeth with severe bone loss.
· Those who want to avoid bone grafting for implants.
· Those who want to replace missing under teeth securely.
· Those who wish to fix poor bone quality with advanced dental implants.
· Those who wish to try a surgical approach for full-arch dental implants.

PATZi is an advanced dental implant protocol used for full-arch reconstruction in patients with severe upper jaw bone loss (atrophic maxilla). The acronym stands for Pterygoid, Anterior, Tilted, Zygomatic/Implants, referring to the specific dental implant placements that provide strong support without the need for bone grafting. By anchoring dental implants in remote, dense bone areas like the pterygoid and zygomatic regions, PATZi improves dental implant stability, minimizes cantilever forces, and enhances long-term success – making it a highly effective solution for complex cases.

PATZi uses a strategic combination of dental implant placements to restore a full upper arch, especially in cases with severe bone loss. Implants are placed in strong, remote areas of the skull such as the pterygoid and zygomatic bones, along with anterior and tilted implants to maximize stability and support. This approach improves biomechanics by reducing cantilever forces and increasing anteroposterior (AP) spread. Advanced imaging, planning software, and surgical techniques guide precise placement, offering a graft-free, long-lasting solution for full-arch rehabilitation.

1. Consultation and examination will be conducted.
2. Tooth preparation or extractions will be performed if needed.
3. Surgical planning and guided implant placement will be done.
4. Temporary dental implants may be placed.
5. Final PATZi will be placed after healing.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided.

<Advantages>
· Restores full upper teeth arch
· Provides strong, stable support
· Improves implant biomechanics
· Reduces cantilever stress
· Suitable for severe bone loss in the upper jaw

<Limitations>
· Potential for increased surgical time and post-op discomfort

· Avoid smoking for at least 24 to 48 hours before surgery
· Stop eating and drinking for at least 6 to 8 hours before surgery
· Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to the surgery

· Eat only soft foods for at least 1 to 2 weeks after surgery
· Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 72 hours after surgery
· Avoid brushing the surgical area for 1 to 2 days after surgery
· Use a gentle antiseptic mouthwash for 7 to 10 days after surgery

Q1: What is the PATZi protocol in dental implants?
A1: PATZi stands for Pterygoid, Anterior, Tilted, Zygomatic/Implants. It is an advanced full-arch implant protocol designed for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss (atrophic maxilla), using remote anchorage points to avoid bone grafting.

Q2: How long does PATZi procedure take?
A2: PATZi typically takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the number of implants and complexity of the case.

Q3: Is PATZi procedure painful?
A3: The procedure is done under local anesthesia or sedation, so there is minimal discomfort during surgery. Mild swelling or soreness may occur for a few days after.

Q4: How long does it take to heal after PATZi implants?
A4: Initial healing takes 1 to 2 weeks, but full osseointegration and final PATZi placement usually happens within 3 to 6 months.

Q5: What is the difference between PATZi and All-on-4 implants?
A5: While All-on-4 uses four implants in conventional positions, PATZi involves additional anchorage in remote areas like the pterygoid or zygomatic bones for better stability in cases with extreme bone loss.
