Zygomatic Smile MultiGiude

An alternative to Bone Grafting: Zygomatic implants provide a solution for patients with severe maxillary atrophy without requiring extensive bone grafting procedures. This is particularly beneficial in cases where the alveolar ridge is less than 4 mm, which would typically preclude the use of conventional implants. By anchoring into the zygomatic bone, these implants bypass the need for time-consuming and potentially risky bone augmentation surgeries.

High Success Rate and Long-Term Stability: Scientific literature reports an overall survival rate of 96.7% at 12 years for zygomatic implants. This high success rate is comparable to, if not better than, conventional implants in challenging cases. The zygomatic bone, with its 98% bone density, offers a stable and durable foundation for implant placement, potentially leading to better long-term outcomes in cases of severe bone loss.

Versatility in Complex Cases: Zygomatic implants offer a viable treatment option for a diverse range of complex clinical scenarios. These include cases of failed conventional implants, patients who have undergone maxillary resection due to cancer, and individuals with congenital deformities such as cleft palate or ectodermal dysplasia. This versatility allows clinicians to address challenging cases that might otherwise have limited treatment options.

Precision and Predictability with Guided Surgery: The use of specialized attachments and guides, such as those in the Precision Zygomatic Smile System, allows for highly accurate and predictable implant placement. This guided approach can help reduce surgical complications, improve the precision of implant positioning, and potentially lead to better prosthetic outcomes. The ability to plan the surgery in advance and use custom guides can also potentially reduce chair time and improve overall surgical efficiency.

These clinical benefits make zygomatic implants a valuable addition to the implantologist’s toolkit, especially when dealing with complex cases of maxillary atrophy or reconstruction.
