Summary

Zygomaticus implants combined with standard endosseous implants offer a reliable solution for maxillary reconstruction following extensive maxillectomy. This approach aids in restoring function and aesthetics after complex oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Implantology
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillectomy, the surgical removal of the maxilla, presents significant reconstructive challenges.
  • Restoring function and aesthetics after extensive maxillary defects requires advanced implant techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze the outcomes of maxillary reconstruction using zygomaticus implants and standard endosseous implants.
  • To evaluate the reliability and success rates of this combined implant approach in patients undergoing maxillectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 9 patients who underwent near-total or total maxillectomy for various pathologic conditions.
  • Analysis of clinical records, photographs, radiographs, and financial data related to implant reconstruction.

  • Placement of a total of 28 zygomaticus and 10 standard endosseous implants across the patient cohort.

    • Main Results:

    • Maxillary resection was performed for malignancy, mucormycosis, and severe atrophy/infection.
    • Implant survival rates: 6/28 zygomaticus implants and 3/10 standard endosseous implants failed.
    • Reconstruction involved obturators, with 5 patients functioning with prostheses for at least 2 years.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of zygomaticus and standard endosseous implants provides a dependable method for reconstructing extensive maxillary defects.
    • This technique supports functional rehabilitation, including the use of obturators post-maxillectomy.
