Bar-Retained Zygomatic Implant Overdenture as a First Line of Treatment.

Over time the case selection and surgical approach of zygomatic implants has evolved into a primary option for maxillary implant reconstruction.

This article illustrates an alternative to this traditional approach by using zygomatic implants as a first line of treatment by placing them immediately but restoring them with a delayed loading bar-retained overdenture.
