Abstract: The rehabilitation of the severely atrophied edentulous maxilla, poses a great challenge to surgeons and prosthodontics that work on this particular area. The classic approach implies bone augmentation techniques by means of bone grafting, bone distraction techniques and others. All of these require major surgery, sometimes associated with morbidity at donor and receptor sites and functional rehabilitation of the patient must occur in two surgical stages.
Since the development of the zygoma implants by Per-Ingvar Brånemark, there’s an alternative to bone grafting techniques, using the body of the zygomatic bone as major point of anchorage to a intraoral osteointegrated implant. This procedure allows the patient to regain orofacial function in only one surgical stage, with high predictability, less morbidity, time spend and costs.
The presented case report describes the clinical and surgical management of a patient with unilateral alveolar cleft associated to severe posterior maxilla bone resorption and intents to expose the advantages of the zygoma procedure.

Aumentos Ósseos em Implantodontia – Capítulo 15
A filosofia de tratamento do nosso grupo é totalmente favorável à realização de reconstruções teciduais (tanto óssea quanto tecido mole), para posterior reabilitação implantossuportada dos pacientes com atrofia severa nos maxilares. No entanto, entendemos que o implantodontista deve conhecer e estar apto a praticar (ou pelo menos a diagnosticar e encaminhar) alternativas de tratamento que também podem beneficiar o paciente.
Aumentos Ósseos em Implantodontia – Capítulo 11
A forma tradicional/clássica de tratamento dos rebordos atróficos é por meio do uso de blocos ósseos autógenos, através dos quais é possível obter bons resultados. No entanto, essa modalidade de tratamento é associada a um maior índice de exposição do enxerto ao meio bucal (principalmente nos caos de defeitos verticais), dificuldade de adaptação do enxerto ao leito recetor (em casos de rebordos irregulares), maior morbidade e maior dificuldade no posicionamento/fixação desses blocos ao nível da crista óssea, o que por vezes não proporciona um resultado homogéneo do rebordo, dificultando a implantação.
