Treatment of a maxillary dento-alveolar defect using an immediately loaded definitive zygoma implant-retained prosthesis with 11-month follow-up: a clinical report.

Abstract

This article describes the dental implant-based rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with a unilateral maxillary dento-alveolar defect. A screw-retained prosthesis with a modified design was fabricated on zygomatic and regular dental implants. One section of the implant prosthesis has cemented crowns and the other section is conventional screw-retained. The design of the prosthesis overcame the hard and soft tissue deficit and provided the desired esthetics.
