Abstract Abstract
Managing severe maxillary atrophy or extensive midface defects presents a profound clinical challenge, often demanding substantial bone augmentation when utilizing conventional implant therapies. Zygomatic implants have emerged as a highly predictable, graftless alternative that utilizes the dense cortical anchorage of the zygomatic bone to support immediate functional prostheses.
This review synthesizes the clinical evolution of zygomatic implantology, tracing the paradigm shift from traditional intrasinus protocols to modern, anatomically guided strategies such as the Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach (ZAGA).
A systematic evaluation of patient selection criteria is presented, delineating absolute and relative contraindications alongside rigorous pre-surgical three-dimensional (3D) diagnostic imaging protocols. Furthermore, key biomechanical principles—including the maxillary fulcrum effect and cross-arch stabilization—are analyzed in the context of safe, immediate functional loading. Modern technological adjuncts, such as piezoelectric osteotomy instruments and dynamic computer-aided navigation systems for flapless placement, are also examined.
While meticulous management of potential complications (e.g., chronic sinusitis, orbital penetration) remains vital, these risks do not statistically compromise long-term implant survival rates. Ultimately, continuous refinements in digital workflows and soft-tissue preservation techniques position zygomatic implants as a dependable, patient-specific standard of care in complex maxillofacial reconstruction.
