The profession has gone one step further: solutions for even the most difficult cases (VIDEO)

Stroka je šla še korak dlje: rešitev tudi za najtežje primere The field of dental implantology has taken another step forward with the introduction of transnasal implants, offering solutions even for patients with severe bone loss. Patients who once believed they were ineligible for dental implants can now achieve fixed teeth thanks to these advanced techniques. This progress was highlighted in recent discussions with Dr. Martin Trampuš, director of the Ortoimplant DENTAL SPA clinic, which has been at the forefront of innovation in implantology for over three decades. Dr. Trampuš explained that many patients previously thought they could not receive implants due to extensive jawbone atrophy. However, modern procedures such as transnasal implants have changed this narrative. These implants provide a viable solution for individuals whose jawbone structure has deteriorated significantly over time. The technique allows for direct placement of the implant into the nasal cavity, bypassing the need for extensive bone grafting and reducing recovery time. The concept of jawbone atrophy often comes as a surprise to many patients. They tend to view teeth solely as tools for chewing, unaware of their role in maintaining the structural integrity of the jaw. In reality, teeth are connected to the jawbone through periodontal ligaments, dense collagen fibers that continuously exert pressure on the bone, providing essential support. When teeth are lost or suffer from advanced periodontal disease, the jawbone gradually loses its foundation and begins to erode. In cases where prolonged delay in treatment leads to substantial bone loss, traditional methods required additional surgical interventions. Bone grafting was commonly used to restore sufficient volume before implant placement. While effective, this process was lengthy and carried inherent risks. More recently, zygomatic implants emerged as a breakthrough, allowing for implantation in areas of extreme atrophy. Today, however, transnasal implants represent yet another leap forward. According to Dr. Trampuš, transnasal implants offer several advantages. Traditional bone grafting is both time-consuming and carries a higher risk of complications. In approximately 90% of cases, artificial bone material is used instead of autografts, eliminating the need for harvesting bone from one site to another. This approach reduces patient discomfort and accelerates the healing process. Moreover, the procedure is less invasive and typically results in shorter recovery times compared to conventional methods. The Ortoimplant DENTAL SPA clinic has consistently prioritized patient care and clinical excellence. Founded 34 years ago by Dr. Zdenko Trampuš, the practice has evolved alongside advancements in implantology. The clinic’s unique DENTAL SPA protocol integrates cutting-edge diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and comprehensive patient support. This holistic approach ensures that each individual receives tailored care based on their specific health status, anatomy, and personal needs. With over 14,000 satisfied patients, the clinic continues to serve individuals from Slovenia, Croatia, and beyond. It maintains a family-oriented ethos, blending the experience of long-standing professionals with the expertise of new generations. Dr. Zdenko and Dr. Martin Trampuš, along with their team, emphasize a close, personal connection with patients while delivering highly specialized care. The shift toward transnasal implants reflects broader trends in modern dentistry. As technology advances and research expands, new techniques continue to emerge, expanding access to restorative treatments. For patients who once had limited options, these innovations now open doors to improved quality of life and functional restoration. With continued investment in education and research, the future of implantology promises even greater possibilities for those seeking dental rehabilitation.
