Zygomatic Implants:
Zygomatic Implants are an alternative to rehabilitate the atrophic edentulous maxilla as well as for maxillectomy defects. One zygomatic implant is placed on each side of the maxilla, in combination with 2-4 conventional implants in the anterior region. For the totally resorbed maxilla, when placement of anterior implants is not possible, 2 additional zygomatic implants (Quad zygoma) are placed.
Procedure:
The placement of zygomatic implants requires adequate training and surgical experience. To receive an appropriate overview of the anatomical structures, presurgical 3D planning with CT or CBCT scans is a must.
Treatment is carried out under general or local anesthesia which depends on the patient’s anxiety & compliance level.
Indications:
– Severe bone loss
– Alternative for sinus augmentation
– Failed sinus augmentation
– Rehabilitation after tumour resection or trauma
– Failure of conventional implants
– Failure of previous bone grafts
Contraindications:
– Acute sinus infection
– Chronic sinusitis
– Issues or diseases of the zygomatic (cheek) bone
– Underlying malignant or systemic diseases
– Heavy smoking
– Bisphosphonates therapy (used to treat bone disease such as osteoporosis)
Complications:
The most common complication associated with zygomatic implants is sinusitis. Other complications reported during and after the insertion of zygoma implants include pain, swelling, infraorbital nerve paresthesia, temporary sensory nerve deficits, orosinusal fistula, cutaneous fistula, perforation of the orbit, moderate nasal bleeding for 1–3 days, intraoral soft tissue problems (gingival inflammation, wound dehiscence), mucositis, periimplantitis, implant failure may occur.
Total Cost Calculation:
Upper Jaw Charges + Lower Jaw Charges
Additional (If you are concerned about anxiety, discuss it with the surgeon for a final quote) + Nitrous Oxide Sedation Charges (If the patient wants with local anesthesia) / Hospital Charges (In the case of General Anesthesia).
