Resumo

Purpose This present study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the predictability of using three-dimensional models (TDMs) to plan the preoperative lengths of zygomatic implants (ZIs). Methods The records of all patients that received such implants between March 2007 and March 2019 were evaluated. The ZI lengths predicted on the TDMs were compared to the lengths of the implants the patients received. Results In total, the records of 74 patients were evaluated, of which 37 records met the criteria of inclusion, and were included in the study. Twenty-seven (73%) of the patients were female and 10 (27%) were male, ranging from 34 to 80 years of age, with the average age being 55.7 years. Seventeen (43.2%) of these patients were classified as ASA I and 21 (56.8%) as ASA II. A total of 142 ZIs were planned and installed in the time frame mentioned. Without distinguishing the region of the maxilla, the implants used were, on average, 1.1 mm larger in length than those initially planned. Conclusion Overall, the data indicates moderate agreement between the planned and surgical lengths of the ZIs and indicates that using TDMs is a predictable and reliable preoperative planning technique of the length of posterior ZIs.
