The surgical/prosthetic protocol showed that it was possible to insert four ZIs in an immediate loading system and achieve stability for up to 30 months.
When the angle of installation of the additional implant is less than 25 degrees and that of the conventional zygomatic implant is less than 39 degrees , perforation of the maxilla, zygoma, or the infratemporal fossa must be avoided. When the angle of installation of an additional implant is greater than 47 degrees and that of the conventional zygomatic implant is greater than 62 degrees , perforation of the orbital floor must be avoided. The length of an additional implant was greater than the length of a conventional zygomatic implant, and should be measured prior to drilling, because the greatest value found for this distance was 61.94 mm, while the maximum length of the zygomatic implants currently available on the market is 52.5 mm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
