| Abstrakt: | Abstract: The aim of this case series was to evaluate the long-term success rate of immediate occlusal loading of extrasinus zygomatic dental implants after a 3-year follow-up. The sample consisted of 31 patients (mean age of 64 years) with atrophic maxillae rehabilitated with 1 to 4 extrasinus zygomatic implants, placed unilaterally or bilaterally. All the patients received complete implant-supported dental prostheses with immediate loading by associating zygomatic implants with conventional implants. None of the procedures were associated with bone grafts. During the 3-year period of follow-up in the present study, all the patients attended clinical sessions and underwent radiographic exams every 6 months. In total 55 zygomatic and 69 conventional implants were placed, where 1 zygomatic and 2 conventional implants were lost, representing success rates of 98.18% and 97.20%, respectively. None of the studied patients had signs of sinusitis or changes in the maxillary sinuses. All the patients showed occlusal contact on natural antagonist teeth or implant-supported dental prostheses. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of exteriorized zygomatic implants with immediate loading represented a feasible option with high success rates for the treatment of atrophic maxilla.
