Area of Science:

Oral Surgery
Dental Implantology
Medical Technology

Background:

Severe maxillary atrophy presents significant challenges for dental rehabilitation.
Zygomatic implants offer a solution but carry risks, including injury to ocular and nervous structures.
Widespread adoption of zygomatic implants is limited due to these potential complications.

Observation:

A clinical report details a patient with severe post-traumatic maxillary atrophy.
The patient underwent zygomatic implant placement utilizing the Implant Bone Navigation system.
This navigation system provides real-time control of drill positioning during surgery.

Findings:

The Implant Bone Navigation system effectively mitigated risks to ocular and nervous structures.
Successful zygomatic implant placement was achieved in a highly compromised maxillary bone structure.
Excellent functional and aesthetic rehabilitation results were obtained for the patient.

Implications:

Navigation-assisted zygomatic implant placement enhances surgical safety.
This technique expands treatment options for patients with severe maxillary atrophy.
Improved patient outcomes and reduced complication rates are achievable with advanced surgical aids.
