Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Severely resorbed maxilla poses a complex problem to place a conventional implant which makes prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous maxilla difficult. Several factors such as maxillary sinus pneumatization, reduced bone quality and quantity diminish the amount of bone for implant placement. Augmenting a severely resorbed maxilla with various bone graft materials is associated with few limitations such as increase in treatment cost, necessity of second surgical site and prolonged healing time. To overcome such situations Zygomatic Implants were introduce for prosthetic rehabilitation of severely resorbed maxilla. The purpose of this Review article is to provide detail information regarding zygomatic implant design, surgical and prosthetic procedure, zygomatic implant success code and outcome of treatment. Keywords:Zygomatic, Implant, Maxilla, success code, Zygomatic Anatomy Guided Approach, Zones of Maxilla
