Abstract: Eagle syndrome is a rare entity, defined as an ossification of the styloid process, which is not commonly suspected in clinical practice. Symptoms were dull and persistent pharyngeal pain, dysphagia, and facial pain.
In addition to careful clinical examination, the use of plain radiographs, orthopantomograms or computer tomography scan has allowed accurate preoperative diagnosis of this syndrome. Surgical treatment has positively resolved the symptoms in the majority of the cases.

Excelência Clínica em Implantodontia – Capítulo 13
A reabilitação da função orofacial de pacientes parcial e totalmente edêntulos, antes do advento do conceito da osseointegração, era efetuada com próteses removíveis. Em 1965, foram usados pela primeira vez implantes osseointegráveis para tratar pacientes edêntulos.
As técnicas de osseointegração para reabilitação maxilar são mais complexas que as de reabilitação mandibular, devido à proximidade das cavidades nasais e seios maxilares, ao grau de reabsorção óssea maxilar (em particular na região posterior por exodontias precoces, pneumatização dos seios maxilares) e à qualidade do osso maxilar, mais vascularizado e menos denso que o osso mandibular.1 Os pacientes com disponibilidade óssea maxilar adequada são excepções, a maioria apresenta graus de atrofia diferentes que obrigam ao recurso de técnicas alternativas de uso do osso existente (p. ex., implante pterigoide), recurso de enxertos ósseos autógenos ou aloplásticos (p. ex., enxertos ósseos onlay na maxila, enxertos ósseos do seio maxilar) ou técnicas osseogênicas de distracção (p. ex., fratura maxilar Le Fort I).
