| description | Abstract Purpose The purpose of this document is to clarify the biomechanical principles involved when zygoma implants are placed under functional loads. Methods Two independent reviewers conducted electronic search of the literature from January 2000 to February 2023 describing the biomechanical principles involved using the zygoma implant for maxillary reconstruction. Articles describing the stresses within the zygoma implant, the maxillary bone and the zygoma bone under functional loads were included. Results The lack of maxillary boney support at the implant platform resulted in significant higher stress measured within the zygoma implant as well as the zygoma bone. Conclusion The maxilla is the primary support when zygoma implants are placed under functional loads. Quad-cortical stabilization of the zygoma implants and their cross-arch stabilization are recommended to reduce the degree of stress whenever possible. |
