It is a type of treatment called a zygomatic bone implant. This implant is recommended for patients with osteoporosis in the upper jaw bone that cannot be implanted. This technique, which emerged with technology development, takes a little longer than normal implants and is applied diagonally.

It is recommended for patients with weak jaw bones and for patients after maxillofacial tumor surgery. In this way, functions such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking are improved in patients after tumor treatment.

Generally, implants may be more difficult to hold in the upper jaw than in the lower jaw. This is valid for implants placed in the posterior region. In patients with a severely atrophic upper jaw (upper jaw with insufficient bone density), successful implant placement is difficult.

Zygomatic implant surgeries take approximately 2 or 4 hours. Recovery is observed between 2 and 6 months after surgery. In order to complete this process in a healthy way, oral care and doctor recommendations should be considered.
