A clinical evaluation of the zygoma fixture: One year of follow-up at 16 clinics

Zygoma implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation after partial maxillectomy using surgical navigation: A clinical report

“…36 Since then several reports have been published on the clinical performance of zygoma implants. 28,29,31,35,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] The 2 primary indications for the use of zygoma implants are atrophic edentulous maxillae and defects after maxillary resection. 28,29,40 Zygoma implants are generally placed at a 30 to 60-degree angle relative to the occlusal plane.…”

“…With this specific design these implants have been successfully used to support prostheses in the atrophic edentulous maxilla, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] as well as in patients which have undergone maxillectomy. 28,35,40,47 This clinical report demonstrates the use of a zygoma implant to improve stability and retention of a telescopic-crown retained [48][49][50][51] obturator prosthesis and highlights the benefits of computer-supported navigation when placing such an implant.…”

Rehabilitation of totally atrophied maxilla by means of four zygomatic implants and fixed prosthesis: a 6–40-month follow-up

“…The aim of this new implant was to obtain a steady anchorage in the zygoma bone 7 for the posterior maxillary region bone quality type IV that does not allow insertion of standard implants, while adding two to four standard implants in the anterior region. The new protocol was first developed in a multicentre study and had a high success rate 13 . Since then, several clinicians have used the same protocol 4,13,15,16 and some have added modifications 5,26 and guidelines.…”
