In Brazil alone, there are more than 30 million patients who have lost their teeth and see dentures as a solution to their problem. However, its long-term use damages the gums, which can lead to oral cancer or exacerbate bone loss in the jaws, causing the well-known loose denture effect. “It is not dentures that loosen, but the jaw wears out. It gets to the point that it is no longer possible to use even dentures,” explains Professor Vanderlim.
However, when using dental implants, it is possible to have fixed teeth and permanently abandon dentures, from the simplest cases to the most complex ones, when the degree of bone atrophy in the upper jaw is pronounced.
The specialist notes that the clinic has developed a model of work in which a patient can come even from outside Florianopolis and return to his city in a few days with implants installed.
“Instead of bone grafts, we perform a three to five hour operation, fixing the implants in the zygomatic bone. This ALL-ON-4 model makes treatment less labor intensive, more predictable and much faster. Treatment that used to take months and even years now takes days,” Vanderlim emphasizes.
However, according to him, after a few days the patient is fitted with a fixed prosthesis and is ready, with a new smile and restored self-esteem. “Often, patients are touched by their new smile: many reveal their long-suppressed desires, such as eating ribs, riding a roller coaster or even smiling for a photo. This is an improvement in the quality of life, which is priceless and confirms our goal, ”the specialist describes.
From Florianopolis to the world
Professor Vanderlim created the world famous transnasal implant technique that bears his name, the Vanderlim Technique. This technique avoids a double zygoma, which is very difficult, making the clinical procedure easier. The Vanderlim technique has gained international recognition among dentists. He has often been the subject of scientific articles, book chapters, lectures and conferences.
His course, 5 Days Zygoma Residency, had 20 editions and has already brought together more than 200 professionals from all over the world, such as the USA, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Dubai, Ukraine, Russia and South America, who come to Florianopolis, learn innovative techniques and apply it in your clinics around the world.
