Introduction
PAD, COMPLICATIONS
Complex oral surgeries with the use of bone regeneration materials have been used to treat bone reabsorption processes (Since the first description of zygomatic implants and the surgery procedure in 1990 (Although soft-tissue variations have been related to the presence of pathogenic bacteria, probing depth was found to be increased in these implants even in the absence of microorganisms (The buccal fat pad has been used to manage diverse sort of oral and maxillofacial complications (The aim of the study was to assess if the repositioning of the buccal fat pad might prevent the gingival recession. Hence, this study aimed to test hypothesis that covering the exposed part of the zygomatic implant with the buccal fat pad would prevent future recession of peri-implant soft-tissues because the fatty-tissue might increase oral mucosal thickness.
