Key Points

This report aims to provide clinical guidelines for rehabilitating edentulous maxillae using various implant types.
Consensus report developed by experts in the field of dental implantology.
Focus on zygomatic, standard-length, and short implant-supported prostheses.
Consideration of surgical complexity and prosthetic feasibility in treatment planning.
Highlights the importance of patient-centered care in treatment protocols.
Identifies evidence gaps that should be prioritized in future research.

Implication

Consensus report outlines rehabilitation strategies using zygomatic and short implants in atrophic maxillae, indicating patient-focused approaches.

Abstract

The Group 2 consensus provides practical guidance for the use of short, standard-length, and zygomatic implants in atrophic maxillae, balancing surgical complexity, prosthetic feasibility, and patient-centered care. Remaining evidence gaps-especially regarding standardized outcome sets, loading protocols, prosthetic strategies for zygomatic implants, the use of short implants for full-arch restorations and maintenance frameworks-should be prioritized in future research.
