Abstract
Zygomatic implants (ZI) represent a groundbreaking advancement in the field of dental implantology. These specialized implants offer a viable solution for individuals with severe maxillary atrophy, where conventional implants may not be feasible. ZI are typically longer than conventional dental implants, ranging from 30 to 55 mm. They are anchored in the zygomatic bone, a dense and sturdy structure in the upper jaw. We reported a case series and discussed the literature.
