Use of Quadruple Zygoma Implants Technique for Atrophic Maxilla Rehabilitation with Immediate Loading - A Clinical Case Report

Abstract

The maxilla with great atrophy can be due to various factors such as tumor resection, generalized aggressive periodontitis, genetic disorders or syndromes. The rehabilitation of patients with an atrophic edentulous maxilla presents a significant challenge for surgeons, and the treatment concept with zygomatic implants have evolved as an alternative for bone augmentation procedures. The aim of this review is to describe the rehabilitation of the maxillary with the use of four zygomatic implants (quad-zygoma implant technique). Within the limitations of this observation, we can state that full mouth rehabilitation with quadruple zygomatic implants technique can definitely be considered as a viable treatment option treating patients with atrophic maxilla. However, studies with more follow-up time and controlled clinical trials should be done in order to document the longevity of this kind of treatment modality.
