Purpose: Different surgical approaches for zygomatic implantology using new designed implants are reported.
Material And Methods: The surgical technique is described and two cases reported. The zygomatic fixture has a complete extrasinus path in order to preserve the sinus membrane and to avoid any post-surgical sinus sequelae.
Results: The surgical procedure allows an optimal position of the implant and consequently an ideal emergence of the fixture on the alveolar crest.
Conclusion: The surgical procedures and the zygomatic implant design reduce remarkably the serious post-operative sequelae due to the intrasinus path of the zygomatic fixtures.

The following case report presents the treatment of a patient with severe maxillary atrophy and failing residual dentition. The patient has been diagnosed with stage IV grade C periodontitis, making this case challenging from the very beginning. The treatment plan was based on collecting and merging digital data: CBCT, a face scan, and an intraoral scan.

Rehabilitating severely atrophic maxillae, particularly when bone loss and sinus pathologies preclude conventional dental implants, is a complex challenge. Techniques such as all-on-four offer solutions for some patients, but severe resorption may necessitate zygomatic implants. Guided surgery, aided by digital tools, improves implant accuracy and reduces complications.

Objective: To investigate the difference in bone-implant contact (BIC) and the rate of infratemporal fossa intrusion among different apex sites for quad zygomatic implants (ZIs) design in edentulous patients with severe alveolar bone resorption.
Methods: Patients with maxillary edentulism were evaluated. Alveolar bone resorption was assessed using the Cawood and Howell classification.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes associated with zygomatic implant (ZI) rehabilitation in partially atrophic edentulous maxillae over a mean follow-up period of more than 10.3 years.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent ZI rehabilitation between 1999 and 2020, with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to develop a new minimally invasive computer-assisted workflow for placing zygomatic implants, combining static positioning with dynamic adjustments for precision.
- The study involved 14 aging patients, with careful measurements taken to compare the planned and actual implant placements using advanced imaging techniques.
- Results showed that the new method was accurate and effective, with all implants remaining stable over more than a year's follow-up, demonstrating its clinical utility and safety.
