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!

Patients diagnosed with Stage IV Grade B periodontitis are generally considered excellent candidates for full-arch immediate loading protocols. This treatment modality facilitates the eradication of active periodontal disease and the restoration of masticatory function with a stable, long-term prosthetic solution.

However, a history of periodontal disease is associated with an elevated risk of peri-implantitis following full-arch implant rehabilitation. Numerous studies have demonstrated a higher incidence of implant complications and failures in this patient population. Contributing factors include compromised plaque control, a dysbiotic subgingival microbiome, and a heightened host inflammatory response characteristic of periodontally susceptible individuals.

To mitigate these risks and enhance long-term implant survival, implementation of a stringent maintenance protocol is imperative. This should encompass regular professional cleanings, individualized patient education, and close monitoring of peri-implant health over time.

In cases where patients present with severe alveolar bone loss and a poor prognosis for tooth retention, full-arch implant therapy may represent a more predictable and potentially cost-effective treatment option, offering improved functional and esthetic outcomes compared to conventional tooth preservation strategies.

As Dr. Shoff often reminds us, gum tissue is at its healthiest when it is thick and firmly attached around teeth and implants.

This strong, stable tissue forms a protective barrier and helps keep your smile healthy. Keep watching to learn why the amount and quality of gum tissue surrounding your teeth plays such an important role in protecting your smile.
