EZGOMA®
GUIDED SURGERY FOR ZYGOMATIC
AND PTERYGOID IMPLANTS
LET NORIS MAKE THE GUIDE, SO YOU CAN GO AND
EXECUTE THE SURGICAL WORK FLOW AND HAVE AN
“EASY” CASE…..EZGOMA®
Overview
EZgoma® is a pioneering patented guided surgery system, developed by Noris Medical to assist in complex zygomatic and pterygoid implant procedures.
For the first time, dental surgeons can plan the zygomatic and pterygoid implant procedure ahead of time and execute it precisely guided, based on the patient’s CT scan, instead of conducting it in a blind free-hand style.
Using proprietary 3D software and the patient’s CAT scan, we create a surgical guide made of Titanium, that fits Suitablely onto the patient’s Maxilla. Supported by the designated EZgoma® Surgical Set, the drilling process achieves the most precise procedure and results available to clinicians today.
Challenges Addressed
Zygomatic and pterygoid implant surgeries are among the most complicated in the dental field and are normally conducted only by experienced and specialized dental surgeons.
Intended to address cases of severe bone loss and low bone quality, these implants bring a quality of life to patients who could never enjoy them before.
Nevertheless, these are challenging procedures that require placing long implants in the deeper areas of the skull, such as the cheekbones, in order to anchor and maintain the implant. It is therefore paramount that the surgeon conducts a procedure that is highly precise in order to ensure optimal results and to avoid complications such as nerve damage or puncturing of the eye.
The EZgoma® Surgical Guide Construction Process
- The clinician obtains a CT scan of the patient’s Maxilla according to preset protocols provided by Noris Medical, in order to generate a correct scan at the right field of view and resolution. The DICOM is then transferred to Noris Medical.
- The Noris Digital team, in cooperation with the referring clinician, evaluates the scan and analyzes the patient’s condition. Utilizing the EZplan 3D software, the implants are planned according to the patient’s anatomical attributes such as bone structure and density, location of nerve canals and position of future teeth reconstruction for optimal prosthetic outcome.
- In a case of an existing denture, it is scanned separately and imported in to the EZplan software to plan the placement of implants in reference to the actual denture teeth and their position in the mouth, ensuring a perfect fit.
- Once the plan is approved by the clinician, Noris fabricates a sturdy yet super thin Titanium-made EZgoma® guide. The guide itself contains grooves and marks for guiding the drill to the precise location, angle, and depth.
- After exposing the bone, the clinician positions the EZgoma® guide within the patient’s Maxilla and secures it using special screws. During the procedure, the clinician is able to precisely drill the osteotomy to the preplanned location, angle, and depth. Following implants placement the Multi-Unit abutments are secured to the designated position prior to the removal of the guide. Once done, all that is left to do is suture the soft tissue and immediately load the adjusted/prefabricated denture.
