Abstract

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Zygomatic implants (ZIs) should be placed accurately as planned preoperatively to minimize complications and maximize the use of the remaining bone. Current digital techniques such as static guides and dynamic navigation are affected by human error; therefore, new techniques are required to improve the accuracy of ZI placement.
