How zygomatic implants are different from normal dental implants?

Zygomatic implants are used when normal dental implants cannot be used because of deficient bone in upper jaw.

Zygomatic implants are long implants, ranging from 30 mm long to 55 mm long. Because of their length, the tip of these implants is able to engage cheek bone (zygomatic bone) and the base of these implants holds the artificial teeth in mouth

1) When there is insufficient bone in upper jaw to place normal dental implants.

Like in those patients who have lost teeth due to pyorrhea, or those patients who were wearing  removable dentures from a long time, or those patients who has undergone dental implants or bone grafting and it has failed.

2) Zygomatic implants are very usefull in reconstructing the upper jaw when its partially or totally removed due to tumour surgery or due to accidents.

These are the patients in which bone grafting has very high complication rate, and there are higher  chances of post operative bone loss around implants. So use of Zygomatic implants in these patients can avoid bone grafting surgery and possible associated complications.

 1) Even if bone is not there in upper jaw, there is no need of doing bone grafting, and with help of zygomatic implants, immediate artificial teeth can be given.

2) Unlike bone grafting surgeries or sinus lift surgeries, there is much more predictablity and fewer complications with zygomatic implants.
