Abstract: Patients with inadequate amount of bone at posterior maxilla cannot provide initial stability for implant anchorage. Many approaches have been suggested to solve this problem, such as autogenous bone grafting, bone grafting with sinus floor elevation and zygomatic implants. Among them, zygomatic implants may eliminate or minimize the need for bone grafting and can adopt immediate loading, which is an effective method that ideally provide restored function and esthetics in a short time. This article aims to review the application of zygomatic implants, immediate rehabilitation and immediate loading, and the assisted techniques.
