The Zygomatic Implant Solution

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.

Southern Implants offers 5 variations of the Zygomatic implant, each Co-Axis® enabled with a 55° prosthetic angulation correction. The choice of technique should consider the ridge crest concavity and sinus anatomy. The ZAGA approach classifies the anatomy into different types to determine the appropriate technique for Zygomatic placement. Depending on the anatomy, Southern’s Zygomatic range offers the clinician the choice of choosing the implant that best matches the ZAGA classification and placement technique.

ZYGIN: Expanding Zygomatic Innovation

Featuring the same body as the ZYGAN® with a narrower implant head, ideal for cases with a highly resorbed maxilla.

 

Product features:

  • A narrow implant head mounted with a narrow fixture mount.
  • A narrow (Ø3.4) implant body enhanced with Southern’s proven MSC surface.
  • Narrow coronal grooves designed to distribute the load in the cortical region.
  • Roughened surface apically providing a roughened surface for where it’s needed most.
  • Narrow apical section making it ideal for smaller patient anatomies.

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
