What is the FAST TRACK BAR

 The FAST TRACK BAR (FTB) is a treatment option where a a specialized metal bar ("TRACK") is strategically placed in a patient’s mouth, typically in cases involving narrow or atrophic alveolar ridges. This TRACK BAR is a stable substructure to support an overdenture. The design and implementation of an FTB are particularly advantageous in situations where the placement of a full denture is challenging or impractical due to insufficient bone volume or compromised anatomical conditions.

Narrow ridges and the FAST TRACK BAR

The FTB contributes to improved retention, stability, and comfort of the overdenture. It distributes occlusal forces more evenly across the supporting implants leading to no prosthetic movement. This is particularly beneficial for patients for whom traditional prosthetic approaches may not offer sufficient support or durability.

Advantages of the FAST TRACK BAR

✅ Accelerated Healing and Early Loading

The Fast Track Bar is designed for efficient surgical placement and early prosthetic loading. Reduce treatment time and  improve the patient’s quality of life sooner.

✅ Ideal for Limited Bone Conditions
FTB is particularly effective for patients with narrow ridges or atrophic jaws, bone grafting can be avoided. The FTB spreads occlusal forces evenly across the implants, it allows for successful rehabilitation even in cases of minimal bone volume.

✅ Cost-Effective Solution
Compared to full-arch fixed bridges or extensive bone grafting, the FTB  offers a more affordable treatment option while still providing high levels of function and patient satisfaction. This makes it an attractive option for patients and referrals. 

✅ Improved Stability Over Traditional Dentures
The FTB offers superior retention and stability compared to conventional removable dentures. No movement | No adhesive | No adjustment.

✅ Enhanced Hygiene Access
The overdenture is removable, patients can more easily clean both the prosthesis | FTB | Implants, promoting better long-term oral health and reducing the risk of peri-implantitis.

What is different with the FAST TRACK BAR

Cortically Fixed Academy's core principles of Science Skill Experience Excellence shape our mission to advance implantology. The FAST TRACK BAR (FTB) is based these underlying principles, avoiding bone augmentation procedures such as ridge splitting, ridge expansion and grafting. The FTB treatment option avoids* the need for these invasive treatments via use of the single piece implants with multi-unit heads, 

The key difference between the FAST TRACK BAR and similar approaches is the treatment time and the the number of components.
