Zygomatic implants were originally developed to specifically assist in the prosthetic capabilities for dental oncology patients with maxillary defects. Since its introduction, advancements in reconstructive techniques have led to improved survivorship of patients with maxillary defects.And similarly, have expanded the utility of the zygomatic implant in supporting prosthetic rehabilitation. This presentation will go in depth on zygomatic implant treatment modalities for today’s patient with maxillary defects.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Learn zygomatic treatment algorithms for patients with a maxillary defect.
- Understand indications and contraindications of zygomatic implants in patients with a maxillary defect.
- Review long-term outcomes and maintenance related to the reconstructed maxilla rehabilitated with zygomatic implants.
