# Minimal exposure technique in zygomatic implants: A case report

## TL;DR

A new surgical method called METZI helps patients with severe upper jaw bone loss by placing implants with minimal tissue damage and fewer complications.

## Contribution

The METZI technique introduces a graft-free, less invasive approach for zygomatic implants with improved outcomes.

## Key findings

- METZI reduces surgical trauma and risk of paresthesia.
- The technique improves implant stability and reduces complications like hematoma and mucositis.

## Abstract

The Minimal Exposure Technique for Zygomatic Implants (METZI) is a graft-free method for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. It
minimizes surgical trauma and risk of paresthesia while ensuring stable implant integration. The technique involves detailed pre-surgical
planning and vestibular incisions for precise implant placement with minimal tissue invasion. METZI has shown improved implant stability
and reduced complications such as hematoma, mucositis and oroantral communication. Overall, METZI offers a safe, less invasive solution
for maxillary rehabilitation with favorable outcomes.
