Complete maxillary rehabilitation haschanged drastically with the recent, less invasive treatment options. This isespecially crucial in elderly patients, who are among the majority seeking thistreatment.
Completely edentulous patients have been rehabilitated using removable complete dentures for long, but this modality of treatment did not meet their functional, social and psychological needs. Not only was that, with the regular use of dentures, the bone severely resorbed rendering them unsuitable for regular dental implants.
Zygomatic implants or quad zygoma has emerged as an excellent treatment choice for such cases.The concept of quad zygoma aims to address severely atrophic maxilla. The term “quad” is an abbreviation used loosely for something with 4 sides. Quad zygoma involves the use of 4 zygomatic implants on the upper arch on each side. The greatest advantage of using this procedure is that there is no need for any bone grafting or bone augmentation procedures. This makes quad zygoma not only a cost-effective treatment option but also time saving. Traditionally a fixed prosthesis is fabricated over these zygomatic implants but these can also be used to retain an overdenture.
Who is a good candidate for quad zygoma?
These implants are highly indicatedin the following conditions:·
- Severelyresorbed maxilla (upper jaw)
- Patients suffering from black fungus or mucormycosis
