Abstract
GUERRA COBIAN, O et al. Treatment with zygomatic implants in patients with advanced atrophy of maxilla. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.71-79. Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2340-3152. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0213-12852020000200003.
Introduction:
The aim of this study was to report the outcome of treatment with zygomatic implants used in patients with severe atrophy of maxilla.
Methods:
18 patients were treated with 36 Galimplant ® zygomatic implants with internal connection for prosthodontic rehabilitation. Zygomatic surgical techniques were two approach for insertion of implants, extrasinusal and sinus slot technique. Implants were loaded after a healing free-loading period of six months.
Results:
Clinical results indicate a survival rate of implants of 100%. Fourteen implants (38.9%) were inserted by extrasinusal approach while twenty two implants were inserted by sinus slot approach (61.1%). A total of 18 hybrid screw prostheses were realized. Postoperative complications were observed in four patients (22.2%). The mean follow-up period were 12 months.
Conclusions:
This study indicate that zygomatic implants can be used with success in treatment of patients with severe atrophic maxilla.
