Rehabilitation of Severe Atrophic Ridges with Zygomatic Implant and/or All-on-4 Treatment Concepts-A Case Series.

ABSTRACT

Rehabilitation of completely edentulous patients with implant-supported prosthesis (ISP) is the need of the day, but in many patients, the routine ISP is not possible due to the severe atrophic residual ridges. The present case series describes three cases with atrophic ridges rehabilitated using zygomatic implants and/or All-on-4 treatment concepts. In case 1 and case 3, in maxillary arch, there was not enough bone in Zone 3 to rehabilitate the patient with routine protocol followed for the All-on-4 treatment concept, so in these two cases, zygomatic implants were placed. Case 1 and case 2 were rehabilitated with Malo Bridge and case 3 with acrylic teeth-hybrid prosthesis using a computerized milling procedure to obtain improved fit, function, esthetics, and ease of retrievability whenever required.
