The Zygomatic
implant range
Tailored implant variations, designed to address the specific anatomical needs in the diverse ZAGA classification, ensuring optimal prosthetic outcomes.
.
ZYGIN Family
Compact head design accross the range with a rescue option available.
ZYGIN-W:
The Wide ZYGIN (ZYGIN-W) implant is a rescue implant.
- Wider apical thread diameter – Ø4.20 vs Ø3.40 mm.
- Increased Thread pitch – 0.75 vs 0.60 mm.
ZYGON:
Smooth coronal region with no threads, ideal for resected and extremely atrophic maxillae.
- 0.75 mm thread pitch.
Family uses MC-ZYG (MUA)
Consists of 3 variations; ZYGIN, ZYGIN-W and ZYGON.
Consists of 4 variations; ZYG, ZYGAN®, ZYGEX and ONC.
Zygomatic Family
Following traumatic accidents, oncology resections or congenital defects, patients present with missing sections of bone and connecting soft tissue. These situations can pose significant physical and psychological effects on the patient.
Each Co-Axis® enabled with a 55° prosthetic angulation correction. Technique selection should consider ridge crest concavity and sinus anatomy. The ZAGA approach classifies anatomy to guide zygomatic placement. Southern’s Zygomatic range offers implant options tailored to the ZAGA classification and technique.
- External Hex Connection – More “forgiving” in situations of impassive fit or implant divergence
- Body Variations – To match the ZAGA classification and placement technique
- Narrower Apex – Ideal for patients with smaller anatomy
Family uses AMCZ (MUA)
Implant variations to match the patient’s ZAGA classification and the surgeon’s placement technique
Technical Facts

- Available in diameters:
- ZYGAN® and ZYGEX: ⌀3.4 mm apex
- ZYG-55 and ONC-55: ⌀4.1 mm
- Co-Axis® enabled: available in a 55° angulation

Surgical Benefits
- Co-Axis® enabled: available in a 55° angulation
- Available with a MSC (Machined Surface Coronal) hybrid surface
- SInergy surface: surface roughened by alumina-blasting giving a moderately rough surface with over 20 years of evidence of clinical success
- The Oncology implant has a 15 mm threaded apex and a coronal machined surface that can be exposed to soft tissue in oncology resections
- The ZYGAN® implant features a narrow apex with a smooth mid-section and MSC threaded coronal region. The ZYGAN® is perfect for patients with smaller anatomy
- The ZYGEX implant offers the same machined area with a narrower apex of 3.4 mm (threaded body diameter)
- Pure high strength titanium enables exceptional fatigue strength (>920 MPa)
- Machined sections for exposed soft tissue and decreased rotations
Prosthetic Benefits
- Classic, trusted connections with sought-after modern features
- Forgiving interface for implant divergence
- Widest range of prosthetic options for treatment of partial or full edentulism
- 55° Co-Axis® provide the ideal prosthetic platform for screw-retained restorations

Southern Zygomatic implants have significantly improved our confidence in atrophic maxilla rehabilitation, providing immediate load and function to reduce patients discomfort. Different designs are available to perfectly match patients anatomy and ZAGA class, to achieve predictable long term results.

Irrespective of the ZAGA classification, I have a tool in my armamentarium with Southern’s site-specific range. A coronally threaded ZYGAN® implant for an intra-maxillary protocol. A coronally non-threaded ZYGEX or Oncology implant for extra maxillary protocols. A fully threaded Zygomatic implant for an intra-sinus ZAGA 0 approach.

The narrow apical part allows placement in small sized zygomatic bones, leaving enough space for a second Zygomatic implant. The 55° platform allows good prosthetic emergence, eliminating the need for angulated multi-unit abutments (along with all the problems that come with their use). The ZYGAN®, ZYGEX and Oncology implants are machine surfaced, except for the apical part which is engaged into the zygomatic bone. This means reduced problems with soft tissue retraction and cleansable implant surfaces if implants are exposed in the oral cavity.

When dealing with the atrophic maxilla it is important to use the right implant to make the outcome more predictable. The machined implant with the roughened apex ensures great stability and integration whilst reducing the risk of soft tissue irritation and bone loss. The 55° Co-Axis® brings the screw access hole in a more buccal position to allow for a thinner favourable prosthesis.
