Zygomatic bone-to-implant contact in 77 patients with partially or completely edentulous maxillas.

Purpose: Specifically with zygomatic implants, the bone-to-implant contact (BIC) at the zygomatic bone correlates with the survival of the implant because there is little anchorage at the alveolus. The purpose of this retrospective study was to view and measure the BIC of zygomatic implants in the zygomatic bone.

Materials And Methods: The patients in this study received zygomatic implants at a single private dental implant center.
