Who Needs Zygomatic Implants?

Who Needs Zygomatic Implants?

12 March Thu, 2026

Patients who need zygomatic implants are usually those with extreme maxillary bone atrophy, often caused by long-term tooth loss, denture-related bone resorption, failed implant history, trauma, or previous grafting limitations. A recent systematic review found that the clearest and most repeated indication for zygomatic implants is severe maxillary atrophy, especially when conventional implants are not predictable without major augmentation.(PMC)

At MilimInternational, Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan evaluates whether the patient truly needs a zygomatic solution or whether another option—such as angled implants, grafting, or pterygoid support—would be more appropriate. Zygomatic implants are not for every patient with bone loss. They are for carefully selected cases in which the anatomy, prosthetic goals, and long-term maintenance strategy all support this advanced treatment path. (PMC)
