Understanding Zygoma Implants

Understanding Zygoma Implants

Biomechanical, Surgical, and Prosthetic Principles

Treatment planning zygoma implants and understanding their indications can be complicated. This text takes the guesswork out of zygoma implant therapy by teaching readers to understand the anatomical, biomechanical, and prosthetic aspects of zygoma implant therapy and cross-arch stabilization. Emphasis is given to the basic biomechanical principles underlying appropriate treatment methods and prosthetic care. Avoid surgical and prosthetic complications and achieve patient satisfaction by following the outlined principles and protocols. Tips for coordinating implant treatment from start to finish are included.
