This paper discusses the feasibility of zygomatic implants as an effective alternative to conventional bone regeneration techniques for maxillary rehabilitation. The anatomical complexity of the maxilla, which presents significant challenges due to bone resorption and atrophy in the absence of masticatory stimulus, is described. Through a review of the scientific literature, the survival rate of zygomatic implants, their complications and the surgical techniques used are evaluated. The results indicate a high success rate of 98.1% in these implants, highlighting their capacity to allow immediate prosthetic loading. However, the need for a thorough diagnosis and a rigorous follow-up to minimize complications, such as sinusitis, and to improve long-term results is pointed out
