Attitudes regarding zygomatic implant surgical and prosthodontic techniques—a cohort questionnaire study

Authors: Stephanie King, Chris Butterworth

Abstract

Background

Zygomatic implant (ZI) surgery and restoration is a complex procedure, requiring experienced clinicians to execute with success. This study assessed the opinion and clinical experiences of a cohort of practitioners involved in provision of zygomatic implant treatment on aspects of the surgical and prosthodontic procedures.

Method

A survey was distributed among all 176 delegates attending ‘Zygomatic 2019’ International Conference in the UK, and all delegates completed the survey.

Results

The respondents were clinicians from both prosthodontic and surgical specialties, with a range of experience. Strong agreements were found regarding the use of specific implant designs dependent on the anatomical situation, and that fixed restorations should be used where possible. There was limited agreement between respondents regarding surgical approaches to ZI treatment.

Conclusion

The limited agreement found between respondents highlights the varied and conflicting literature available on ZI surgery. High-quality research is required to inform clinicians and assist education.
