Replacement of missing teeth in the posterior maxilla is always a challenge for the treating implant surgeon as the posterior maxilla has several obstacles in the form of quality, quantity, the anatomy of the maxillary sinus, and inaccessibility. To overcome these deficiencies, several surgical procedures such as sinus lift, bone augmentation, tilted implants, short implants, and zygomatic implants were tried. Since these procedures have their own limitations, pterygomaxillary region provides us an excellent place for placement of implant and rehabilitation of posterior maxilla. This case report describes the usage of the pterygomaxillary region for placement of the implant to restore atrophic posterior maxilla, without any additional surgical procedures.
上颌后牙区缺失牙的种植修复对于种植外科医生而言始终是一项挑战，因为上颌后牙区存在诸多障碍，包括骨质质量、骨量、上颌窦解剖结构以及手术操作难以触及等问题。为克服这些不足，人们尝试了多种外科手术方法，如窦底提升术、骨增量术、倾斜种植体、短种植体以及颧骨种植体等。鉴于这些方法都有各自的局限性，翼上颌区域为我们提供了一个极佳的种植位点，可用于上颌后牙区的修复。本病例报告描述了利用翼上颌区域植入种植体来修复萎缩的上颌后牙区，且无需进行任何额外的外科手术。
