The cheekbone or zygoma which is also known as the malar bone which is technically known as the zygomatic bone is the main anchorage for the zygomatic implant. When implants are planned for the upper jaw, it is normally a difficult situation. The upper jaw poses the following problems:
- Poorer quality of bone available in the upper jaw as compared to the lower jaw due to age or bone resorption.

The advantage of this will be that implants may not get easily affected like a conventional implant from the infection since the size of the implant is longer and the malar bone being thick is resistant to disease.This method is mainly used for severely resorbed upper jaws and is designed to allow immediate replacement with fixed polymer teeth.
