Prosthodontics

Background:

Severely resorbed maxillae present significant challenges for dental implant placement.
Immediate loading protocols offer potential advantages in reducing treatment time.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the long-term outcomes of immediately loaded zygomatic implants in patients with atrophic maxillae.
To assess the success rates and complications associated with zygomatic implants and conventional implants over a 5-year period.

Main Methods:

A prospective study involving 42 patients receiving 81 zygomatic and 140 conventional implants.
Follow-up duration of 5 years, assessing prosthetic and implant failures, and complications.
Oral rehabilitation was performed using complete or partial arch restorations.

Main Results:

Zygomatic implants demonstrated a high success rate of 98.5% (68/69).
Conventional implants achieved a success rate of 94.9% (112/118).
One zygomatic implant was lost due to lack of osseointegration; six complications were reported.

Conclusions:

Immediately loaded zygomatic implants, combined with conventional implants, offer a favorable 5-year prognosis for restoring severely resorbed maxillae.
The study supports the use of zygomatic implants as a viable option for complex oral rehabilitation cases.
