Zygomatic Implant

Cheekbone-Anchored Implant for Severe Maxillary Atrophy & Immediate Full-Arch Support

The Surcam Zygomatic Implant is purpose-built for patients with severe maxillary atrophy who are not candidates for bone grafting or sinus lift procedures. Longer than conventional implants and anchored in the zygomatic (cheek) bone, it provides a dense, stable foundation for fixed full-arch restorations. The implant’s macro-geometry supports immediate loading (case-dependent), restoring chewing function and esthetics rapidly while reducing overall treatment stages.

Zygomatic Implant Benefits

• Bypasses Grafting/Sinus Lift – Utilizes zygoma anchorage to avoid extensive augmentation in atrophic cases.

• Immediate Function Potential – Excellent primary stability can support same-day provisionalization when torque and case selection allow.

• High Stability in Dense Bone – Zygomatic bone provides robust engagement for long-term support.

• Efficient Full-Arch Rehabilitation – Pairs with standard anterior implants for hybrid “All-on” concepts.

• Improved Patient Experience – Fewer surgeries, faster restoration of speech, chewing, and smile confidence.

Surcam Zygomatic Implants FAQs

When are zygomatic implants indicated?

For severely resorbed maxillae where conventional implants would require grafting or sinus lift; final indication requires comprehensive clinical and radiographic assessment.

Can they be used with standard implants?

Yes. They are commonly combined with anterior conventional implants to achieve full-arch support and cross-arch stabilization.

Is immediate loading possible?

Often, yes—case dependent. Adequate insertion torque, controlled occlusion, and patient factors must support immediate protocols.

How do zygomatic implants differ from pterygoid implants?

Zygomatic implants anchor in the zygoma (cheekbone); pterygoid implants anchor in the pterygoid process. Selection depends on anatomy, prosthetic plan, and surgeon preference—sometimes they’re combined.

Do they eliminate the need for sinus lift?

In many atrophic cases, yes. Zygomatic anchorage bypasses the sinus and avoids complex grafting procedures.
