Zygomatic Implant 1 article

A Zygomatic Implant is an extra-long dental implant anchored in the zygomatic bone to support prosthetic rehabilitation when the posterior maxilla has severe bone deficiency and conventional implant placement is not feasible without extensive augmentation. Placement follows a specialized surgical pathway through or adjacent to the maxillary sinus and requires advanced anatomical planning. These implants are typically used as part of a full-arch strategy rather than routine single-tooth replacement. The concept is defined by zygomatic anchorage and is distinct from short, tilted or standard maxillary implants.
