Long‐term survival and complications of Quad Zygoma Protocol with Anatomy‐Guided Approach in severely atrophic maxilla: A retrospective follow‐up analysis of up to 17 years

Rubén Davó,

Feng Wang
et al.

Abstract: IntroductionThe objective of the study was to provide long‐term clinical outcomes and complications in the severely atrophic edentulous maxillae treated by means of the quad zygoma protocol (QZP) using the Anatomy‐Guided Approach (AGA).MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of all consecutive patients with severely atrophic edentulous maxilla and insufficient bone height and width in the anterior and posterior regions bilaterally, who underwent rehabilitation with the QZP between May 2006 and December 20… Show more

“…The quad zygoma represents a highly demanding surgical technique that requires appropriate training, planning, and meticulous surgery. A recent long-term retrospective study on the quad zygoma concept [ 18 ] provided long-term evidence, registering a 97.8% implant survival rate, a 98.2% prosthesis success rate, and a mean score of 1.7 on oral health impact profile-14, translating as virtually “no impairment” on the patient’s quality of life self-assessment. Furthermore, a systematic review and meta-analysis by Aboul-Hosn Centenero et al evaluated the survival rates of two zygomatic implants combined with regular implants versus four zygomatic implants, with no significant differences between the two treatment modalities in survival [ 42 ].…”

“…Among the various treatment options, the use of zygomatic implants has proven to be an approach with high success rates over the last 30 years [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Depending on the degree of maxillary bone atrophy, the zygomatic implant may be used in combination with one to three conventional anterior implants (all-on-4 hybrid) [ 19 ], or in cases of inadequate bone volume preventing the insertion of conventional dental implants, using four zygomatic implants (quad zygoma; all-on-4 double zygoma) [ 20 , 21 ].…”

“…The quad zygoma protocol involves the placement of four zygoma implants strategically to distribute forces in the antero-posterior direction, particularly in cases where patients exhibit inadequate bone structure in this dimension of the maxilla [13]. This approach has undergone clinical testing, particularly in immediate loading techniques, demonstrating promising short-and long-term success [14,15]. However, despite its predictability and well-documented nature, there are several noteworthy limitations.One key prerequisite for successful implant placement is a minimum zygoma bone thickness of 1.8-2 mm [24].…”
