Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants Procedure

For patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw, traditional implants are often not an option. In these complex cases, advanced solutions such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants allow clinicians to restore function and aesthetics without grafting. In this case study, Prof. Samer Sarouji demonstrates the use of Surcam implantology solutions at Galilee Medical Center, highlighting how innovative techniques can transform treatment outcomes.

What Are Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants?

• Zygomatic implants anchor into the zygomatic bone, bypassing resorbed maxillary bone.

• Pterygoid implants engage the dense pterygoid region, providing strong posterior support.
  Together, they offer stability in patients with severe maxillary resorption, often eliminating the need for bone grafts or sinus lifts.

Prof. Sarouji’s Clinical Approach

In this procedure, Prof. Sarouji carefully placed Surcam implants into both the zygomatic and pterygoid bones, creating a secure foundation for full-arch prosthetic rehabilitation. By leveraging extra-maxillary anchorage, he provided immediate stability for the prosthesis, reducing treatment time and patient discomfort.

Clinical Benefits

• Immediate stability: even in severely resorbed jaws

• Avoids grafting: no need for sinus lift or complex bone augmentation

• Time efficiency: fewer surgical stages, faster recovery

• Predictable outcomes: long-term stability with proven implant anchorage

Why Surcam Solutions?

Surcam implants and prosthetic components are designed for precision, biocompatibility, and cross-system compatibility. All products meet FDA and CE standards, ensuring predictable performance in advanced maxillofacial procedures.

Conclusion

Zygomatic and pterygoid implants expand the possibilities of modern implantology, offering patients with limited bone volume a reliable path to restoration.
