J Maxillofac Oral Surg. 2015 Sep;14(3):848-52. doi: 10.1007/s12663-015-0741-1. Epub 2015 Jan 20.

Abstract

Rehabilitation of patients with ectodermal dysplasia often presents clinical challenge due to hypodontia, anodontia, and severe atrophy of edentulous ridges. Zygomatic implant therapy can be used as a method of achieving osseointegration without bone grafting in such situations. This clinical report describes the dental rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla of a 26-year old female patient with a fixed prosthesis, immediately loaded on four zygomatic implants.
