Purpose: This cross-sectional study aimed to identify and characterize the pathway for appropriate placement of four zygomatic implants in the severely atrophic maxilla and to group the anatomical variations of the osteotomy trajectory for anterior zygomatic implants.

Materials And Methods: CBCT images of patients presenting indications for the use of four zygomatic implants to withstand a maxillary rehabilitation were reviewed. Cross-sectional planes corresponding to the implant trajectories, designed according to a zygoma anatomy-guided approach for implants placed in the anterior and posterior maxilla, were assessed separately.

Four zygomatic implants may be used in patients with severe maxillary atrophy for rehabilitation with a fixed or removable prosthesis. Immediate loading is also typically performed, providing patients with a less invasive and more efficient solution for rehabilitation. Options for immediate loading are presented.

Purpose: The aim of this report is to present the clinical and patient-based outcomes of an immediate-loading protocol of TiUnite implants with mandibular overdentures in edentulous patients 5 years following initial placement.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised two groups of edentulous patients. In the experimental group, 35 consecutively treated patients received 70 TiUnite implants that were loaded immediately, as well as 69 Branemark machined implants as a backup treatment.

Purpose: The aim of this report is to present the implant and clinical outcomes of an immediate-loading protocol of TiUnite implants with mandibular overdentures in edentulous patients.

Materials And Methods: Two groups of edentulous patients were selected. Thirty-five consecutively treated patients received 70 immediately loaded TiUnite implants and 69 Brånemark implants as backup (1 patient received 1 Brånemark implant).
