A Retrospective Cohort Study of the Survival Rate of 88 Zygomatic Implants Placed Over an 18-year Period.

Purpose: The management of patients with a severely atrophic or resected maxilla with zygomatic implants can be surgically challenging, but postoperative complications are relatively uncommon. This retrospective cohort study evaluated the percentage survival rates of zygomatic implants placed over an 18-year period.

Materials And Methods: This study evaluated patients receiving zygomatic implants in primary-care (specialist referral dental practice) and secondary-care (hospital) settings over an 18-year period.

Greater understanding of materials and bonding methods have improved the clinical predictability of restorations. Resin-bonded cast metal restorations can now provide a genuine alternative to conventional fixed restorations for both premolar and molar teeth.
