Zygoma implants are today the standard care to treat patients with severe bone atrophy of the
maxillary that cannot be rehabilitated with surgical bone augmentation and/or conventional or
tilted implant placement. The reported survival rate of 95% to 98% during 3 to 12 years of follow-
up conrmed the long-term stability and predictability of zygoma implants.
Dr. Arun K. Garg, full-time professor of surgery in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, as editor, selected the 16
contributors based on their decades of clinical knowledge and experience with zygoma implants.
Each has contributed to the rapid progress made over the past two decades in restoring function
and aesthetics to patients with severe bone atrophy of the maxillary, a long-neglected patient
population.
Quintessence Publishing, world leader in dental literature, supports experienced implantologists
to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various surgical and prosthetic protocols practiced
worldwide today with the publication of a new book by Dr. Arun K. Garg titled Zygoma Implants
- Step by Step.
The book is has 12 chapters. After a presentation of the anatomy and pathophysiology of
maxillary bone atrophy, the ZAGA concept is described, as a multifaceted approach to zygoma
implant rehabilitation and zygoma implants, rationale, indications, and overview. Next, the
reader is introduced to the step-by-step surgical protocol of zygoma implants, oral rehabilitation
with pterygoid implants from two zygoma implants in combination with conventional or tilted
implants to quadruple zygoma implants, multiple zygoma implants and zygoma minimally
invasive technique with piezoelectric instrumentation.
Prosthetic restoration is presented through the step-by-step prosthetic protocol for zygoma
implants, illustration of classic cases of prosthetic restoration of zygoma implants and through
zygoma implants in the patient with cancer or maxillofacial trauma.
Zygoma Implants - Step by Step by Dr. Arun K. Garg and the other 16 contributors from
dierent countries, represents the most innovative and advanced knowledge and techniques
available on this topic. To help the readers, it contains ample drawings and case illustrations,
giving the necessary knowledge to perform oral rehabilitation with zygoma implants procedures
in their own oces.
