Zygomatic Implants: A Solution for the Atrophic Maxilla: 2021 Update

Restoring the dentition of an edentulous patient is often challenging. Endosseous dental implants have allowed for far more versatility in this area but still require adequate maxillary and mandibular alveolar bone. Often, unless significant bone grafting techniques are used, true restoration of the dentition can be impossible with traditional endosseous implants. The advent of zygomatic implants, however, may provide a viable, predictable, and stable alternative for the restoration of the dentition in patients with severe maxillary alveolar bone loss.
