The use of zygomatic implants under immediate loading protocols represents a consolidated therapeutic alternative for patients with severely atrophic maxillae, in whom conventional bone grafting methods present significant limitations. This study analyzed the impact of this approach on success rates and masticatory function, based on data from reviews and clinical studies. The results demonstrate high predictability, with success rates exceeding 95% in most investigations, along with significant functional improvements in mastication and patient quality of life. Although complications such as sinusitis and prosthetic failures may occur, these events are relatively minor compared with the overall benefits of the technique, provided that careful surgical and prosthetic planning is undertaken. It is concluded that zygomatic implants with immediate loading constitute an effective, safe, and highly beneficial solution, promoting relevant advances in both functional and aesthetic rehabilitation and consolidating their role in contemporary implant dentistry.
