Why Cortically Fixed?

The Cortically Fixed Academy was established as platform for Dr Henri Diederich to share his extensive knowledge and experience in working with both the Pterygoid region and Basal bone. For over two decades, Dr Diederich in collaboration with leading specialist engineers, developed both the Compressive Pterygoid Implant, the Cortical Fixed at Once (CF@O) hybrid plate and more recently the Bone Truss Bridge (BTB) approach. These innovative approaches aim to address the challenges commonly encountered by dental practitioners relying solely on traditional dental implant treatment options.

The effectiveness of traditional dental Implants depends significantly on their  anchorage to the Jaw bone. However, achieving strong anchorage can be challenging in cases where the bone is weak or has deteriorated. The innovative approaches offered by Cortically Fixed provides practitioners with alternative minimally invasive approaches potentially avoiding the need highly invasive procedures like bone grafting and sinus lift that are both subject to long healing times. 

 Benefits of Cortically Fixed approaches:

  • Significantly shorter healing periods; Recovery can be weeks rather than months.
  • Effective for patients with weak or no bone; Offers a reliable solution where traditional dental implants may not be suitable.
  • BTB and CF@O hybrid plate; Designed to overcome challenges where other dental implants solutions are ineffective or maybe prone to failure
  • Ideal alternative to invasive procedures; A great option for patients seeking to avoid bone grafting and / or sinus lift.
