    The implant is placed in front of the maxillary sinus in the upper jaw , and in front of the mental nerve in the lower jaw . The head of the implant emerges in approximately the second premolar position. This will allow a molar tooth to be cantilevered posterior, resulting in a denture or bridge with approximately twelve teeth.

    Although dental implants tend to have a high success rate, of about 99%, [38] studies show that if an implant were to fail, it occurs more often in the front portion of the upper jaw. [39] More research is required to determine why this occurs, but it has been theorized that the alveolar bone in the upper jaw has a thinner cortical plate and ...

[7] Zygomatic implants can be used in patients who do not have any teeth in the upper jaw, patients who have heavily broken down teeth or very mobile teeth due to diseases such as generalised aggressive periodontitis ...
