Malo Concept

Malo’s bridge has a high success rate and it eliminates the need for bone grafting which is invasive, costly, and uncomfortable for patients. The procedure is well tolerated and of shorter duration. All in a single-day procedure is feasible, not only the surgery but also the placement of teeth with immediate function. Traditional techniques often involve multiple surgeries and can take over a year to complete. The bridge is hygienic, easy to maintain, and clean. Typically about half the cost of alternative techniques requires bone grafting and the placement of more than four implants.

Implants follow a dense bone structure. Longer implants can be placed by tilting them posteriorly which also helps in improving anchorage. Tilting improves the A-P spread of implants resulting in a more stable prosthesis. A-P spread enhances load distribution for a prosthesis. Shortening the cantilever (maximum of 7 mm for maxilla and 1.5–2.0 mm A-P spread for mandible) reduce prosthetic fracture/instability and marginal bone height stability. The marginal bone height of implants is maintained with a rigid prosthesis. Tilted implants have a similar success rate as traditional implants when splinted together.
