Zygoma Implant for Atrophic Maxilla.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Zygomatic implants are preferred for dental rehabilitation with inadequate bone support more commonly in the posterior maxilla as an alternative to other bone grafting techniques with satisfactory and clinical successful outcomes. A patient 43 years old came to the department of prosthodontics with a chief complaint of missing teeth in the upper and lower arch and desired replacement. On clinical and radiological examination it was found that the patient had atrophic maxilla and since the patient desired a fixed treatment option, zygomatic implant supported denture in the maxillary arch and implant supported hybrid denture in the mandibular arch was planned.
