Zygomatic Implants

Edentulism is a persistent ailment associated with considerable rates of morbidity and health issues, edentulous patients are leading a life of despair and emotional hardship, the reason being, diminished aesthetics and reduced masticatory capacity leading to poor health.

Rehabilitating edentulous maxilla when competent bone is present is well handled with either Conventional (ALL ON 6) or Basal implants. But the real problem is with severely atrophied jaw bones.

During the preceding three decades various surgical Procedures have been refined to escalate the local bone volume in anatomical regions where the bone volume is scarce, but they posed an array of annoyances such as multitudinal surgical interventions and the use of extra oral bone from donor sites like Iliac crust/ skull.

To conquer such inhibitions di erent therapeutic substitutes such as Tubero pterygoid implants and Zygomatic implants have evolved.

Zygomatic Implants In India

Zygomatic implants are a graft less treatment remedy for extremely resorbed Maxilla and is a substitute for Conventional bone grafting and only solution for implants where maxillary bone is completely resorbed, these are a substitute to traditional implants. These implants are used for reconstruction of atrophic edentulous upper jaw as a viable alternative to sinus lift procedures and bone grafts. Zygomatic implants are di erent from traditional implants as, they gain anchorage from cheek bone or the Zygomatic bone unlike the others which are placed in the upper jaw bone that is the Maxillary bone. The placement of Zygomatic implants is indicated when there is severe atrophy of the maxilla and is not feasible to place the regular implants. This atrophy may be the result of Trauma, Infections like Black fungus(Mucormycosis) Bone pathology, congenital defects, Tumor resection or Pneumatization of the maxillary sinus.

Zygomatic bone commonly called as cheek bone, is a asymmetric paired bone situated at the upper and lateral part of the face and forms the cheek prominence. Because of its high mineralization content, the Zygomatic bone is more condensed and cortical in character thereby, allowing wide stress distribution. These factors attribute to the Permanent teeth in 3 days, reducing the therapy schedule and providing comfort to the patient. Since these Implants aid in permanent fixed teeth in less than a week, these are called Immediate loading implants.

Confined access, visibility, anatomical structures surrounding it and Zygomatic curve complexity make this measure adequately challenging to the Implantologist, but are considered to be superior than many of the conservative techniques as they do not require bone grafts and avoid sinus lift problems and Implants are engaged in the rigid native bone. Another main feature of these implants is that they are installed in two bones that do not recede and are highly mineralised and unyeilding. They are also known for their length, which might extend from 30mm to 60mm and are designed to provide a proper anchorage in the bone, there by reviving and rectifying smile and speech along with mastigation capacity leading to boost of morale.

Zygomatic implants Cost In India, considered as an alternative to sinus lift procedures, is often accompanied by regular sized Basal implants or Conventional implants, depending on the requirement. The cost associated with this treatment will be less when compared to the traditional style of implant placement involving additional surgical procedures and the cost will be subjected to the number of zygomatic Implants used. It can be only one Zygomatic implant (if the bone condition is improper on only one side) or one Zygomatic Implant on either side in the Upper jaw or in absolutely no bone cases it can be two Zygomatic Implants on each side(Quad Zygoma).Therefore there is no such jaw which is untreatable, Fixed teeth on Implants is possible in all.

In contrast to the bone grafts procedures, treatment with Zygomatic implants Suggests minimal invasive surgery,  concised treatment time, immediate loading choice of restoration, low maintenance, better cure, less recovery time with no donor site morbidity and superior success rate.

INDICATIONS:

It is a very precise process and demands concrete diagnostic treatment planning.

  • Extremely atrophic maxilla.
  • Unsuccessful conventional implant placement.
  • Congenital or acquired defects.
  • Restoration after trauma / tumor resections.
  • In syndromic patients.
  • Mucormycosis cases where the entire upper jaw had to be removed.

PROCEDURE:

Its placement is identical to that of conventional implants and the approach can be

  • Intra sinus (old approach)
  • Extra maxillary sinus is a contemporary approach followed by implantologists all around. Longer implants are used which are anchored in the strong cortex of the zygoma bone providing stronger anchorage. Whereas regular implants are anchored in the jaw bone.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Graft less solution in severely atrophied maxilla.
  • Immediate loading implants, permanent teeth in 3 days.
  • Considerably less uneasiness
  • Zygomatic implants contribute to multi cortical anchorage allowing instant loading on implants.
  • Done under local anaesthesia.
