The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) can account for up to 40% of midface fractures. They are the second most common facial fracture following nasal bone fractures [1]. These fractures commonly stem from assault, motor vehicle accidents, and athletics [1-3]. The ZMC is an important component of facial structure as it defines midface width and malar projection. The ZMC is often referred to as a...

This prospective study aimed to evaluate the effects of the zygoma anchorage system (ZAS) in buccal segment distalization in comparison with cervical headgear (CH). Thirty patients with Class II dental malocclusions were included in the study and were divided into two equal groups: the first group (10 females and 5 males, mean age 14.74 years at T1) received buccal segment distalization with ZA...

Fractures of the zygomatic complex are the second most common fractures of the middle third of the face. The treatment should aim at optimal reduction and fixation while taking into consideration patient satisfaction in terms of pain control, type of anaesthesia and treatment cost. This study is designed to assess the anxiolytic, sedative, amnesic properties as well as safety and efficacy of us...

Zygomatic implants have been in use since the 1990s for the treatment of patients with severely resorbed maxillae. Here, the authors present a modification of the standard zygomatic implant technique that uses up to 3 implants on each side of the maxilla for support of a dental prosthesis.

The Purpose of this study To document the etiology and clinical data of patients with fractures of the zygomatic complex and to compare the findings with other studies in the literature Patients and Methods: This crosssectional study was performed from January 2011 to December 2012, One hundred and sixty patients with zygomatic fracture were admitted to Oral & maxillofacial department of Imam R...

The aim of the study was to assess the incidence, etiology and spectrum of zygomatic bone injuries sustained during sports treated at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, using the retrospective database between 2002 and 2012, as well as to suggest protective measures. The ratio of males (95%) to females ( 5%) was 19:1.The highest incidence was at age between 11-30 years. The study indicate...

PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to investigate the internal structure of the edentulous zygomatic bone, which provides anchorage for the zygomatic fixture, using micro-computed tomography, and to examine the relation between the internal structure of the edentulous zygomatic bone and the zygomaticus fixture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight zygomatic bones of edentulous maxillae fro...

The findings of three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) and two-dimensional computed tomography (2DCT) with helical CT scanning were compared for 21 patients with maxillofacial bone fractures. The results of this study suggest that the 3DCT evaluation can be divided into 3 groups. The first group, in which 3DCT is superior to 2DCT, includes severe complicated midface fractures, for example...
