Abstract
CHAUCA-BAJANA, L et al. Surgical technique with quad Zygoma with immediate loading in an atrophic maxilla: a case report. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.6, pp.272-276. Epub Mar 18, 2024. ISSN 2340-3152.
Introduction:
At present there are predictable and reproducible surgical techniques for treatments in patients with maxillary rim atrophy, zygomatic implants are one of the alternatives. The interdisciplinary work between the oral rehabilitator and the maxillofacial surgeon is fundamental for the success of the patient's rehabilitation. The present clinical case reports a 60 year old female patient, with no medical history, where atrophy of the alveolar ridge was observed in the conebean and four zygomatic implants were planned.
Objective:
The objective of the clinical report is to show an alternative implantological surgical treatment in a patient with atrophied maxilla.
Results:
The results demonstrated the efficacy of zygomatic implants in edentulous patients with alveolar ridge atrophy plus immediate prosthesis placement.
Conclusion:
One of the treatment alternatives in maxillae with atrophic rims is the placement of zygomatic implants together with a good digital planning. Several studies have described that the success rate of these implants is very high, due to the fact that the technique is safe, reproducible and generates high patient satisfaction.
