ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS

The loss of teeth can significantly impact an individual''s quality of life affecting speech Mastication and aesthetics. Dental implants have been used to replace missing teeth for more than half a century.While conventional dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement they rely on anchorage within the jaw bone. However minimum amount bone width and height is an essential prerequisite for the successful placement of implants. However patients with severe maxillary bone atrophy face challenges in receiving traditional implants. This is where zygomatic implants come into play.Zygomatic implants(ZI) have revolutionized the field of dental implantology particularly for patients with severe maxillary bone loss where traditional implant procedures may not be feasible. These implants offer a solution by anchoring into the zygomatic bone. The zygomatic bone allows anchoring far from the occlusal level and presents regular and compact trabecular bone with 98% of bone density4 providing stability and support for dental prostheses without the need for bone grafting procedures.
