| Summary | The use of zygomatic implants is a technique that is becoming more and more widespread in daily clinical practice, however, few professionals feel safe and confident in performing this type of procedure. We therefore believe that a line of research focused on simplifying this technique will have an extraordinary impact on the safety of both patients and surgeons. Currently, new surgical guides have emerged that guarantee greater precision in the placement of zygomatic implants. However, no comparative clinical studies have yet been performed to evaluate the degree of accuracy of guided implant placement compared to the conventional freehand technique. |
