I am a postgraduate student from Rajas Dental College and Hospital. This book is on brief knowledge about zygomatic implants.

Zygomatic implants are advanced dental implants intended for patients with severe maxillary resorption. These implants act as a substitute for traditional implants. This graft-less technique, also known as the Zygoma technique, was introduced by Prof.Per Ingvar Branemark. The zygoma implants are inserted into the zygomatic bone to provide support for maxillary teeth, bridges, and dentures. Zygomatic implants are indicated in completely edentulous individuals with severe maxillary atrophy. These implants can also be combined with axial implants. Zygomatic implants are available in lengths varying from 30 to 52.5 mm. The head of the zygomatic implant is engineered to allow prosthesis attachment at a 45-degree angle to the long axis of the implant. These implants can also be used in patients who have mobile teeth due to diseases such as generalized aggressive periodontitis. The success rate of zygomatic implants reported worldwide is 97-98%.
