Are zygomatic implants good?

Like traditional dental implants, zygomatic dental implants also have a high success rate. It is estimated that around the success rate of zygomatic implants ranges from 97-98\%. In the case of complications, the most common complications of zygomatic implants are sinusitis, paresthesia, and oro-antral fistula.

How do zygomatic implants work?

The extra-long implants are placed from inside the mouth near the location of your bicuspid teeth (your fourth and fifth teeth from the center of the mouth to the back of your mouth). The implant then anchors into the thick, solid zygomatic bone.

Where are zygomatic implants placed?

In the classical protocol, zygomatic implants are inserted through the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus involving the zygomatic bone for anchorage (Fig 1). For visualization of the correct implant position access to the maxillary sinus is necessary.

Do zygomatic implants fail?

A total of 56 zygomatic implants were reported as failures and the cumulative success rate (CSR) over a 12-year period was 96.7\% (6). The preliminary data show that the zygomatic implant technique is predictable with satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Are zygomatic implants more expensive?

Zygomatic implants vary greatly in total cost, but on average a patient can expect to pay between $32,000 – $36,000. Included in this price is the cost of the initial surgery, the temporary fixed teeth to be worn during the recovery period, follow-up appointments, and the final implants.

Can zygomatic implants be removed?

Zygomatic dental implants are indicated in patients with severe bone atrophy of the maxilla. They are long implants that are anchored in the zygomatic bone and require well-training. In one study, the surgical removal of zygomatic dental implants has resulted in a significant loss of bone.

Do zygomatic implants go through the sinus?

Zygomatic implants are placed by going through the sinuses to reach the zygomatic bones. They use an arch form known as “cross arch splinting” which helps the implants support one another instead of relying solely on the bone for support.

Who invented zygomatic implants?
