PINTOR WILLCOCK, M.F.  y  CAMPOS SALVATERRA, O.. A new indication for Zygomatic implants for the fixed rehabilitation of the partially edentulous patient: Case report. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.4, pp.279-282. ISSN 2173-9161.

Zygomatic Implants are used in the rehabilitation of severely resorbed maxillas. This eliminates the necessity of bone grafting or sinus augmentation to restore the osseous volume necessary for conventional implant rehabilitation. This also minimizes morbidity and treatment times. We present the case of a patient with a partially edentulous upper ridge, Kennedy class I, in whom two zygomatic implants were placed in each side, that emerged over the alveolar ridge crest as a result of a technique modification.
