ZYGOMATIC IMPLANTS FOR EDENTULOUS MAXILLA

Abstract

Because of osseous resorption and the enlargement of the maxillary sinus, it may be challenging to treat edentulous areas of the posterior maxilla. It may be challenging to treat such conditions using traditional dental implants, and the patient's treatment duration, morbidity, and expenses may all significantly increase as a result. Dentists now have the option of employing the zygomatic method to immediately set and secure implants, which enables quick use of the restored teeth when treating severely resorbed, partially, or fully edentulous maxillae. This procedure is used to treat severely resorbed maxillae.
It is not necessary to perform substantial bone grafting in order to put implants into the denser, more stable bone of the posterior maxilla because of its location.
