Severely scarred oronasal cleft defects in edentulous adults: initial data on the long-term outcome of telescoped obturator prostheses supported by zygomatic implants.

Objective : Prosthetic rehabilitation of edentulous patients presenting with severely scarred oronasal cleft defects. To document the outcome of telescopic obturator prostheses attached to zygomatic implants in edentulous cleft lip and palate patients. Patients and Methods : Four edentulous patients suffering from the consequences of cleft lip and palate were selected from a cohort of 52 patients who had received zygomatic implants between 1998 and 2010.

Zygoma implants for midfacial prosthetic rehabilitation using telescopes: 9-year follow-up.

Purpose: This study presents successful maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation using telescopic and crowns on zygoma implants as abutments.

Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients received 36 zygomatic and 24 dental implants and were followed-up for an average of 65 months (range: 13 to 102 months). Machined zygoma implants were positioned classically in the maxillary molar region.
