The aim of this study was to evaluate the malar bone available for three-dimensional zygomatic implant placement on the possible trajectories exhibiting optimal occlusal emergence. After a preliminary analysis on 30 computed tomography (CT) scans of dentate patients to identify the ideal implant emergencies, we used 80 CT scans of edentulous patients to create two sagittal planes representing the possible trajectories of the anterior and posterior zygomatic implants. These planes were rotated clockwise on the ideal emergence points and three different hypothetical implant trajectories per zygoma were drawn for each slice.

  • Zygomatic Bone: Anatomic Bases for Osseointegrated Implant Anchorage
    Rigolizzo 5/19/05 4:07 PM Page 441 Zygomatic Bone: Anatomic Bases for Osseointegrated Implant Anchorage Maurício Bruhns Rigolizzo, DDS, MS1/José Angelo Camilli, MS, PhD2/ Carlos Eduardo Francischone, DDS, MS, PhD3/Carlos Roberto Padovani, MS, PhD4/Per-Ingvar Brånemark, MD, PhD5 Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate zygomatic bone thickness considering a possi- ble relationship between this parameter and cephalic index (CI) for better use of CI in the implant placement technique. Materials and Methods: CI was calculated for 60 dry Brazilian skulls. The zygo- matic bones of the skulls were divided into 13 standardized sections for measurement. Bilateral mea- surements of zygomatic bone thickness were made on dry skulls. Results: Sections 5, 6, 8, and 9 were appropriate for implant anchorage in terms of location. The mean thicknesses of these sections were 6.05 mm for section 5, 3.15 mm for section 6, 6.13 mm for section 8, and 4.75 mm for section 9. In only 1 section, section 8, did mean thickness on 1 side of of the skull differ significantly from mean thickness on the other side (P < .001). Discussion: For the relationship between quadrant thick- ness and CI, sections 6 and 8 varied independently of CI. Section 5 associated with brachycephaly, and section 9 associated with subbrachycephaly, presented variations in the corresponding thickness. Conclusion: Based on the results, implants should be placed in sections 5 and 8, since they presented the greatest thickness, except in brachycephalic subjects, where thickness was greatest in section 5, and in subbrachycephalic subjects, where thickness was greatest in section 9.

E-mail: bruno@ibb.unesp.br This study was made to investigate the anatomical features of the white-eared opossum skull, by osteology and radiographic anatomy. For this, five animals were used without sexual distinction. The skull was examined by radiographic and macroscopic characteristics. The skulls were then subjected to maceration. The skull was described macroscopically according to standard views, i.e. dorsal and caudal, lateral, ventral, and midsagittal. The skull can be- divided into facial (viscerocranium) and cranial (neurocranium) regions. The facial region was elongated and more developed than neurocranium. The supraorbital foramen was ab sent. The tympanic bulla is not well developed. The zygomatic arch was formed by zygomatic process of the temporal bone, zygomatic process of the maxilla, and temporal process of the zygomatic bone. There was no significant difference between bones found in this study when compared with those described for others mammals.

The temporal fascia is inserted into the upper aspect of the arch and deep to it lies the temporalis muscle attached to the coronoid process of the mandible. Antero-inferiorly the bone articulates with the zygomatic process of the maxilla forming the lateral two-thirds of the inferior orbital margin and enclosing the infra-orbital nerve. In the orbit articulating with the greater wing of sphenoid above and the maxilla below, the bone forms part of the lateral boundary of the inferior orbital fissure.
