摘要

Introduction

Zygomatic implants (ZIs) have emerged as a transformative solution for rehabilitating the edentulous atrophic maxilla, first introduced by Prof. Branemark in 1980’s with long term success rate documented in 2004. Initially designed as "zygoma fixtures" anchored in the zygomatic bone via an intra-sinus approach, ZIs offer a reliable alternative to extensive grafting procedures, with evolving techniques including extrasinus approaches and Zygomatic Anatomy Guided Approach, addressing both surgical and prosthetic challenges.

Case report

We present a case of full mouth rehabilitation using digitally-guided placement of zygomatic and endosteal dental implants in a completely edentulous patient.

Discussion

Various complications associated with zygomatic implants have been previously documented in literature. Recent studies have demonstrated that fully guided surgical techniques, utilizing customized bone-supported templates, enhance the accuracy of zygomatic implant placement, thereby improving clinical outcomes.
