Zygomatic implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with Brown et al. Class II c maxillary defect: A clinical report

J Indian Prosthodont Soc. 2022 Jan-Mar;22(1):92-96. doi: 10.4103/jips.jips_313_21.

Abstract

The genesis of acquired maxillary defects poses a significant challenge when it comes to rehabilitating a patient prosthetically. These defects lead to functional and esthetic impairment, affecting the quality of life of an individual. This clinical report describes a satisfactory zygomatic implant-supported overdenture rehabilitation of a patient who underwent subtotal bilateral maxillectomy after an industrial accident. The result shows zygomatic implant-supported overdenture as a viable, predictable, and economical treatment option for a patient with an extensive maxillary defect.

Keywords: Attachments; maxillary defect; overdenture; zygomatic implant.
