🦷 AOX Success = Bone + Soft Tissue Control | PATZI Protocol

Predictable AOX outcomes require more than implant stability. The PATZI surgical protocol, combined with intentional soft tissue management, allows clinicians to control critical variables and simplify complex full-arch cases.

🔹 Patient presentation:
Severe bruxism, multiple missing teeth, and significant loss of vertical dimension of occlusion.

🔹 Surgical foundation:
• Bilateral pterygoid implants engaging strong pterygomaxillary pillars
• Insertion torque >50 Ncm for all implants
• Two nasal crest implants placed anteriorly
• Two tilted implants completing the arch
• Cumulative Torque Value (CTV): >300 Ncm

🔹 Why soft tissue matters:
Historically, full-arch research has focused on peri-implant bone and prosthetic parameters—often overlooking soft tissue planning and ex*****on.

🔹 Soft tissue strategy:
• Strategic incision design
• Atraumatic extraction techniques
• Apically positioned flap approaches
These techniques preserved natural soft tissue volume and an adequate zone of keratinized gingiva, meeting the minimal soft tissue requirements for long-term success.

📌 Key takeaway:
When both hard and soft tissue variables are respected, clinicians can enter the full-arch maintenance phase with confidence.

Delivery of the final prosthesis today marks the completion of a comprehensive full-arch rehabilitation for a patient presenting with severe bruxism, primary occlusal trauma, and significant loss of vertical dimension contributing to chronic TMJ clicking and functional instability. The case involved extensive attrition, multiple missing or fractured teeth, and a favorable thick soft-tissue biotype with an adequate band of keratinized tissue. After atraumatic extractions, full-arch implant therapy was executed using the PATZI protocol to optimize implant trajectory, maximize cortical engagement, and achieve ideal biomechanical distribution. This approach produced composite insertion torque values exceeding 300 Ncm per arch and excellent AP spread, enabling predictable immediate loading. Following confirmed clinical osseointegration, a passively fitting screw-retained final prosthesis was fabricated and delivered, re-establishing proper vertical dimension and occlusal support to reduce joint overload, promote neuromuscular adaptation, and ensure long-term stability of the definitive reconstruction.

Some patients count down the days until they can eat their favorite foods again…

This patient counted down until she could finally wear her bold red lipstick. 💄❤️

Today, she received her final set of dental implants—and she chose shade OM2, giving her that Hollywood-white smile to make that red pop!

No more hiding her smile. Just confidence, joy, and lots of lipstick ahead! ✨

Upper Arch PFAST Case – Clinical Reflection

The incorporation of pterygoid implants into my full-arch rehabilitation protocol has proven to be a transformative advancement in achieving enhanced prosthetic support and long-term stability.

In this recent case involving an elongated and narrow maxillary arch, the access channel of the posteriorly tilted implant emerged between the premolars on the right side. The addition of pterygoid implants effectively eliminated the need for a distal cantilever, thereby reducing occlusal loading on the tilted fixtures and optimizing force distribution across the arch.

Preoperative assessment of the soft tissue architecture—particularly in key anatomical areas—is essential to ensure precise soft tissue management and to promote ideal transmucosal healing. In this case, due to preoperative tissue deficiency, a vascularized interpositional periosteal connective tissue flap (VIP-CT) was performed around the tilted implants. This approach plays a critical role in minimizing soft tissue complications and enhancing long-term maintenance of full-arch restorations.

Ultimately, while bone sets the tone, it is the soft tissue that defines the long-term success of the restoration.

ORCAA — Operation Re-dentulate Central American Association — represents far more than its name suggests. I had the privilege of participating in the inaugural ORCAA Guatemala program in 2023 as a Level 3 participant. While my initial goal was to refine my remote anchorage techniques, the experience provided immeasurably more, profoundly shaping both my clinical skills and my professional outlook.

I am deeply grateful to my mentors, Dr. Simon Oh and Dr. Juan Gonzales, whose guidance and leadership have had a lasting impact on my career and personal growth.

Over the past few years, ORCAA has evolved into a distinguished community of dental professionals who embody inclusivity, humility, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to excellence in education.

It is an incredible honor to return in 2025 as a faculty member, with the opportunity to share the knowledge and experience I have gained through this journey. Receiving the ORCAA Faculty Ring is both humbling and deeply meaningful, serving as a reminder of the responsibility to give back to this exceptional organization that has given me so much.

For clinicians seeking to advance their proficiency in dental implantology—from single implants to full-arch rehabilitations—ORCAA offers a truly comprehensive educational platform that bridges advanced clinical training with global outreach and collaboration.

I am also pleased to share that our second ORCAA Symposium will be held on January 15-17, 2026 at 4 Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas. I encourage all colleagues passionate about elevating their full-arch practice to join us for this extraordinary event. I look forward to seeing you all!
