Rubén Davó: Zygoma concept

The lecture gives an insight into treatment options for highly resorbed edentulous maxilla cases with zygomatic implants. For cases with almost no maxilla bone available Dr Davo presents the quad technique with 4 zygomatic implants, which depending on the anatomical situation can be placed within or or outside the sinus. In comparison to grafting procedures, treatment with zygomatic implants offers less invasive surgery, shorter treatment time, immediate loading and restoration option, no donor site morbidity and higher success rate. As a conclusion, prority should be given to simpler and less invasive treatment protocols reducing the risk of complications and reaching treatment goals in the shortest possible time.
