This
clinical study using a specific technique was carried out to determine
the clinical effectiveness of zygomatic implants under an immediate
loading protocol. All 56 patients were treated between May 2000 and October
2006 and received 110 zygomatic implants. They were treated using the same
surgical and restorative protocol. All were in need of oral reconstruction and had
maxillary atrophy that warranted zygomatic implant placement. Results demonstrated a cumulative
survival rate of 96.37% The prosthesis survival rate was
100.0%. This technique
resulted in a stable and predictable prosthetic reconstruction.
