Zygoma dental implants are a modern teeth implant treatment, initially developed by Professor Per Ingvar Brånemark in the eighties. Also referred to as zygomatic implants, zygoma teeth implants are longer than regular dental implants, extending up to 55 mm, compared to the standard 10 -15 mm. They are usually recommended to replace missing teeth in the upper jaw, in cases where severe bone resorption is present in the maxilla. Compared to normal teeth implants which are inserted in the jawbone, zygoma teeth implants are placed in the cheekbones.

Temporary tooth restorations like traditional dentures are not usually considered ideal for people with high levels of jaw bone resorption, as they are not considered to be effective treatments to prevent further bone loss. Patients with insufficient bone quality may also be unable to have regular dental implant treatment or overdentures, without first undergoing bone graft treatment. Zygoma implants in some cases can offer such patients durable long lasting teeth, without the need to have to undergo additional bone grafting procedures.

Implantation Procedure

The procedure for placement of zygoma teeth implants is generally less invasive than that to place traditional dental implants, and is typically performed in two stages. During the first stage, the implant posts are fitted in the cheekbones, through the use of computer scans that help guide the implant along the correct path of insertion, through the sinuses. A few days later, a temporary acrylic bridge can be attached to the zygoma dental implants. The bite of the bridge is then checked and adjusted accordingly.

Over the next few months, the bone in the cheek then grows around the zygoma dental implants, till it effectively fuses with them. This process is called osseointegration. When the appointed dental implantologist determines that the bone has healed satisfactorily, the final bridge made of acrylic or porcelain can be attached to the implants, to complete the tooth restoration.

The main advantages of zygoma teeth implants are:

– They do not require bone grafts.
– They need fewer appointments than regular dental implants.
– They have a shorter treatment time.
– They have a higher success rate than dental implants placed after bone graft procedures.
