Zygomatic Implants

Abstract

Extensive bone atrophy present in patients who need to be rehabilitated with zygomatic implants, associated with rehabilitation performed through a classical surgical technique and, depending on the maxillary anatomy, may cause prosthetic screw exit to be located on the palate and predispose to aesthetic, phonetic, and oral hygiene complaints. Therefore, an extra-maxillary technique for insertion of zygomatic implants included in the All-on-4® Hybrid and All-on-4® Extramaxilla concepts was developed in order to reduce the palatal emergence of the prosthetic screws and, therefore, optimally position the buccal cantilever with a straighter prosthetic base. Here, the main focus is to create patient comfort and a prosthesis that is easy to clean while always maintaining the desired prosthetic support. This chapter describes the diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment concepts that underpin the All-on-4 Extramaxilla concept.
