What is Zygomatic Implant ?
Zygoma implant is a type of dental implant used in the upper jaw to replace the missing teeth, zygomatic implant is used in cases where the traditional implant is not suitable because of bone lossing or insufficient bone in the upper jaw so zygomatic implants are anchored and placed in the cheek bones instead of the maxilla bone. The name is derived from the zygomatic area depending on the name of the bone. Zygomatic implant placement is a treatment method that can be applied in cases where there is no chance of dental implant application due to excessive bone loss in the upper jaw (maxilla bone). Zygomatic implants offers the patients another chance and an alternative of different dental fixed prosthesis such as fixed dentures, crowns and prosthetics, Zygomatic implants (zygomatic arch) it is the solution for the severe maxillary atrophy, it is considered an ideal solutions with pterygoid and trans nasal implants for full mouth restoration and rehabilitation like all on four and all on six. In conclusion zygomatic implant is used in complex dental reconstructions and it is the best alternative for the people who do not have bone.
