Abstract
Conventional implants cannot be placed in patients with severe atrophied maxilla resulting in insufficient amount of bone remaining for anchorage. Routinely, grafts were the preferred technique. But the drawbacks associated with this procedure, Branemark proposed surgical /prosthetic rehabilitation with zygomatic implants to overcome them. This review aims to address the criteria for placement, surgical and prosthodontics procedure, outcome evaluation and complications arising with zygomatic implants.
