Abstract: An osseointegrated implant can be advantageous for dental reconstruction and masticatory rehabilitation. For treatment of the severely resorbed maxilla, implants have been used in combination with sinus augmentation or onlay bone grafting. Recently, zygomatic implants designed by Nobel Biocare® (Göteborg, Sweden) have been used for treatment of severely resorbed maxillae. If a zygomatic implant is used, onlay bone grafting or sinus augmentation may not be necessary when there is still sufficient anterior bone volume for the placement of standard implants and the alveolar ridge crest in the posterior region is severely resorbed. In the situation in which an anterior onlay bone graft is required, extension of the graft into the posterior region can be reduced.
The zygomatic implant can be placed from the alveolar crest and pass through the maxillary sinus close to the crest of the zygomatic bone. Thus, preoperative and postoperative evaluation of the maxillary sinus is important. In many cases, the zygomatic implant platform is located palatal to the alveolar ridge.

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.
