Zygomatic Implants: A Revolutionary Solution for Severe Bone Loss in the Upper Jaw
Zygomatic, also known as ‘Zygoma’, are longer than standard dental implants that instead of relying on jawbone, transverse the poor area of your upper jaw to anchor into the underside of the cheekbones from the inside through the sinus space.
This approach is used for severely resorbed upper jaws and is designed to facilitate immediate rehabilitation with fixed replacement teeth.
The zygoma implants are inserted in the back section from within the mouth, along with one or more additional regular implants in the front part of your jaw, or in the most sever of cases two zygomatic implants may be placed on each side, which is referred to as Quad Zygoma .
An alternative to Zygoma Implants is bone grafting. A method that we used in the past involved getting this bone from the hip. However this method has been associated in the literature with significant risks and higher failures. A more common approach that we use today is Sinus Grafting using a bovine bone mineral.
