The inventor of this technique is a Portuguese dentist: Dr. Paulo Malo, who has taken up the concepts of implant surgery developed in the 90s, which suggested the possibility of avoiding complex and invasive interventions, such as bone grafts or maxillary sinus elevations, inclining the implants in a way to anchor them in the patient's residual bone.

But we know well most of them and I want to explain them to you in this article. Here are the 4 causes of dental implant failure -- (surely there are a thousand others but we don't know it yet) First Cause: The experience and knowledge of the Surgeon.

Over the years, moreover, total edentulism causes reabsorption of the maxillary bone, which, by thinning, can cause, among other things, real modifications of the facial profile. Rehabilitation of oral functions must hence, mean for the patient: Satisfaction Ease of adaptation Chewing functionality Self-esteem Aesthetic improvement Better quality of life and social relationships And this the wearers of mobile prostheses, perpetually worried about its instability, know this well.
