Asymptomatic chronic rhinosinusitis and osteitis in patients treated with multiple zygomatic implants: a long-term radiographic follow-up.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate implant survival and the reactions of the bone and mucosa of the maxillary sinuses in patients treated with fixed dental prostheses supported by multiple zygomatic implants.

Materials And Methods: Between 2001 and 2007, patients with extensive resorption of the basal bone of the maxilla received multiple zygomatic implants without grafts. In 2012, the maxillary sinuses were examined with cone beam computed tomography.

The positions of implant heads in relation to the fixed dental prosthesis: a comparison of multiple zygomatic implants with standard implants for the reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the positions of dental implants at the crestal level and the occlusal level of a fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) in severely and moderately resorbed maxillae. Restorations supported by multiple zygomatic implants were compared with restorations supported by standard implants.

Material And Methods: Between 2004 and 2007, measurements were performed on FDPs and working casts.

Initial speech problems in patients treated with multiple zygomatic implants.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the speech ability of patients treated with multiple zygomatic implants. This technique can be used in patients with severe atrophy of the maxilla when there is insufficient residual bone in the anterior region for placement of conventional implants.

Materials And Methods: Between 2004 and 2008, audio recordings were performed in patients treated with fixed dental prostheses (FDP) supported by multiple zygomatic implants.

Modified technique using multiple zygomatic implants in reconstruction of the atrophic maxilla: a technical note.

Zygomatic implants have been in use since the 1990s for the treatment of patients with severely resorbed maxillae. Here, the authors present a modification of the standard zygomatic implant technique that uses up to 3 implants on each side of the maxilla for support of a dental prosthesis.
