Abstract
A surgical technique for the placement of titanium screw-type implants (Branemark system) in the pterygomaxillary-pyramidal region is presen ted. The correct direction, location, and length of the implant is dec ided during surgery. Cylindric osteotomes are used as bone-site former s, thus minimizing the use of drills in bone preparation. This not onl y conserves bone, but greatly reduces the potential surgical risks, es pecially of hemorrhage.
