Abstract
The geriatric population, atrophic maxilla is a common condition.1.Severely resorbed maxilla is challenging for the installation of conventional osseointegrated implants. 2. To reduce the complications associated with bone grafting procedures and to simplify the rehabilitation of atrophicmaxilla, zygomatic implants play an essential role. 3. With the use of zygomatic implants the wait for osseous graft maturation is eliminated saving the treatment time and money.4.In this case report,nasal floor lift for anterior implants was performed with placement of bilateral zygomatic implants and conventional implants.

Summary
Abstract- The geriatric population, atrophic maxilla is a common condition.[1]. Severely resorbed maxilla is challenging. With the use of zygomatic implants the wait for osseous graft maturation is eliminated saving the treatment time and money.[4]. In this case report, nasal floor lift for anterior implants was performed with placement of bilateral zygomatic implants and conventional implants. From the past few years, these cases had been treated with cortical-medullar bone grafts from the iliac crest performed under general anesthesia.[2]. Zygomatic implants offer a satisfactory function, improves aesthetic results, costs low, execute time and provide low morbidity for patients as it is less invasive surgery as compared to other treatment options for atrophic maxilla such as reconstructions with autologous grafts. Zygomatic implants are immediately loaded as their length is enough to provide anchorage as there is a larger contact between the surface of the implant and the bone; the stability is greater[5]
