Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Dental Implantology
Guided Surgery

Background:

Rehabilitation of severely atrophic maxilla presents significant challenges.
Zygomatic implants are indicated for severe bone resorption.
Immediate loading of zygomatic implants is a desirable outcome.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel guided surgery method for zygomatic implant placement.
To simplify the surgical procedure and optimize outcomes.
To facilitate immediate loading of zygomatic implants.

Main Methods:

Digital treatment planning for fully guided prosthetic rehabilitation.
Design of a radiographic template for prosthetic planning.
Utilization of a surgical template for in vivo replication of planned steps.
Pre-surgical planning on stereolithographic models.

Main Results:

Successful implant and prosthesis placement in 19 out of 20 patients.
Reduced surgery duration and procedural simplification.
Optimized surgical and prosthetic outcomes.
Effective collaboration between technicians, prosthodontists, and surgeons.

Conclusions:

The presented approach effectively addresses zygomatic implant surgery needs.
Virtual environment planning enhances surgical and prosthetic design.
Pre-surgical simulation on models simplifies the operative procedure.
The method is suitable for complex maxillary reconstructions.
