CLINICAL CASE

Zygomatic Implants

In this clinical case, we present the treatment of Zygomatic Implants. A treatment option when the patient has little bone and you do not want to wait to perform a bone graft. We will see the causes and why it is decided to use this type of implant to obtain fixed teeth in one day in jaws with little bone. Caries, periodontal disease or tooth wear are the three causes of tooth loss. Patients with these diseases often suffer in silence the consequences of the loss of the pieces.
After tooth loss, the jaws suffer a progressive loss of bone that makes it impossible to place fixed teeth through dental implants. Bone grafts are sometimes used to rebuild lost bone, but waiting times for the bone graft to "solidify" and allow dental implants to be placed range from 6-12 months.

Before and after Zygomatic Implants treatment

Zygoma® implants are the ideal solution for jaws with little bone, as they allow fixed teeth to be placed in one day, without bone grafts and without hospitalization. Treatment with zygomatic or zygomatic implants consists of placing the implant in the zygomatic bone, it is that is, the bone that makes up the cheekbone, and it is an implant that uses an immediate loading protocol, as opposed to conventional implants, in which the implant is placed in the maxillary bone.

In this way, they are implants that help patients with bone loss without having to wait for the longer times that bone grafts require.

The zygomatic implant procedure is planned in two stages: in the first, provisional fixed dental prostheses are placed, under local anesthesia and a post-operative period without major complications, with the patient quickly recovering a better quality of life. In a second stage the final prosthesis is placed.

This type of upper jaw implants are indicated in the following cases:

Patients with total or partial jaw bone loss.
Patients who have lost their teeth while young.
People who had dentures for a long time and this affected their bone structure.
Patients with periodontal diseases or maxillary diseases.

Zigoma® implants allow complete restoration of the denture.

Our clinical case is a 53-year-old patient who has no bone for conventional implant placement. After a study and evaluation of your jaw with 3D technology, zygoma® implants are placed. After 24 hours, temporary fixed teeth were placed, which allowed the patient’s masticatory function, esthetics and self-esteem to be restored quickly and effectively. The final photograph shows the naturalness and design of the final fixed prosthesis. It is worth mentioning that after tooth loss, the jaws suffer a progressive loss of bone that makes it impossible to place fixed teeth by means of dental implants. Bone grafts are sometimes used to reconstruct the lost bone, but waiting times for the bone graft to “solidify” and allow dental implants to be placed range from 6-12 months.
The zygomatic implant procedure is performed in two stages: in the first stage, provisional dental prostheses are placed, with local anesthesia and a postoperative period without major complications, with the patient quickly recovering a better quality of life. In a second stage, the definitive prosthesis is placed. This type of upper jaw implants are indicated in the following cases:
  • patients with maxillary bone loss, either total or partial;
  • patients who have lost their teeth when they were young;
  • people who had dentures for a long time and this affected their bone structure;
  • patients with periodontal disease or jaw disease.
zigoma® implants allow complete denture rehabilitations to be performed.
