Zygomatic implants
Zygomatic implants are placed through the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus involving the zygomatic bone for strong anchorage. They provide maximum support and durability compared to conventional implants due to their placement in dense cheek bone. Complications can include zygomatic bone fracture, orbital penetration, or implant head damage during surgery. Post-operative issues may involve screw fracture, implant failure, oroantral communication, soft tissue inflammation, or sinusitis. Zygomatic implants are best for patients with insufficient bone who need a single procedure rather than multiple surgeries, and a fixed prosthesis can be placed in as little as 72 hours.

Zygomatic implants are used for patients with insufficient bone. They are anchored in the zygomatic bone, providing better support and longevity over conventional implants.
Various surgical techniques for zygomatic implant placement include Branemarks, sinus slot, and extra sinus approaches.
Potential complications during surgery include zygomatic bone fracture, orbital penetration, and implant head damage due to improper techniques.
Common postoperative issues for zygomatic implants include screw fractures, implant failure, oroantral communication, soft tissue inflammation, and sinusitis.
FAQs address indications, durability, timeline for prosthesis placement, and expertise of Dr. Rajat Sachdeva in performing zygomatic implant surgeries.

- 7. Complications during surgery •Zygomaticbone fracture- Due to high pressure on the bone while placing an implant. • Orbital penetration- Wrong trajectory of the implant causes the penetration into the orbit.
- 8. •Implant head damage-The damage is more likely due to improper placement of implant driver or by exceeding torque.
- 9. Post operative complications •Screwfracture on the abudment- Overload on the implant placed or long cantilever. Also double zygoma may cause screw fracture. •Implant failure- Failure can be due to systemic conditions like recurrent sinusitis which is a clear call for implant removal.
- 10. •Oroantral communication- Thisis secondary to sinusitis, inadequate procedures around zygoma can lead to oroantral communication. •Soft tissue inflammation- Commonly caused due to poor oral hygiene after surgery or due to bulky reconstruction around the implants. •Sinusitis- One of the major and common problems associated with zygomatic implants.
- 12. Get it done by Dr.Rajat How durable are they? When will I get my zygomatic implant? FAQ’s
- 13. Q1. When arethe zygomatic implants indicated? A1. Zygomatic implants are preferred in patients with insufficient bone and in patients who had failed conventional implants due to bone loss or any other medical condition, patients who repulse more than one surgical procedure. Zygomatic implant placement is a single surgical procedure. Zygomatic implants are appropriate with all age groups.
- 14. Q2. How durableare zygomatic implants? A2. The insertion of zygomatic implant is in the thick, dense cheek bone providing maximum support. Also, such implants abstain from bone resorption with age or any other medical condition, responsible. Hence, the duration is longer than the conventional implants which are more likely to be affected by jaw bone modulations with age or with any medical condition.
- 15. Q3. How longdoes it take to get final prosthesis over zygomatic implant? A3. Zygomatic implant surgery can be completed with placement of fixed prosthesis after 72 hours. Whereas, in conventional implants standard time for fixing prosthesis is around six months after implant placement.
- 16. Q4. Where doI get my zygomatic implant? A4. Dr. Rajat Sachdeva is the best skilled clinician. His clinic in North Delhi- is the leading dental clinic exercising implants, successfully. Dr. Rajat has made a mark in the fields of implant dentistry by placing over 8000+ implants. He has thorough experience of dealing with patients and teaching students across the globe and yields the best in the span of implant dentistry.
