Abstract

Zygomatic implant placement has been shown to be a reliable method to reconstruct severe maxillary atrophy and maxillary deficiency defects. The placement of zygomatic implants is more complex and more challenging than conventional oral implant placement especially in the quad approach. The application of navigation surgery in complex craniomaxillofacial procedures has become very helpful in transferring the surgical plan to the patient and avoiding adjacent anatomic injuries. This article shows the feasibility of real-time navigation in zygomatic implant placement via building a clear workflow.

Keywords: Dental implant; Maxillofacial and reconstructive surgery; Navigation workflow; Real-time surgical navigation; Zygomatic implant.
