Biomechanical Evaluation of Zygomatic Implant Versus Pterygoid Implant in Atrophic Maxilla: An In vitro Finite Element Study.

Background And Purpose: Dental implants are considered to be one of several treatment options that can be used to replace missing teeth. The objective of the study is to examine and compare the biomechanics of zygomatic and pterygoid implants planned on the atrophic maxilla with three different bone types.

Materials And Methods: An in vitro finite element study was conducted on a three-dimensional model of zygomatic and pterygoid implants.
