PENGGUNAAN IMPLAN PADA ZIGOMA UNTUK REHABILITASI PASCA MASILEKTOMI SEBAGIAN

ZYGOMA IMPLANT-SUPPORTED PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION AFTER PARTIAL MAXILLECTOMY

Abstract

Patients with severe maxillary defects have major difficulties to re-establish their mastication, speaking, soft tissue
projection and social intergration. The reconstruction of maxilla defect after tumor resection continues to pose a challenge
for the reconstructive oral and maxillofacial surgeon. The zygomatic implant, which was introduced in recent years, can
offer a valuable alternative to extensive augmentation procedures. The zygomatic implant represents such a development
and is inadequate alveolar bone for placing sufficient dental implants. The goal of using the zygoma as an implant
anchoring site was to provide predictable posterior anchorage for restoring dentist’s prosthetic efforts. As conclusion,
zygoma implant decrease defect, increase maintainance, reconstruct maxilla caused of tumor resection or trauma, where
the main aims is to return the effort of abturator prosthetic procedure.
