A zygoma drill is a specialized surgical drill used in the placement of zygomatic implants — implants anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheek bone) rather than or in addition to the usual jaw-bone, often used in atrophic (severely resorbed) maxillae.
These drills are designed to create a long osteotomy channel through the maxillary alveolar region into the zygomatic bone. Because the zygomatic bone is robust and requires precise angulation and depth control, the zygoma drill is tailored accordingly.
Sometimes a zygomatic implant procedure uses a kit containing long drills, pilot drills, burs, depth gauges, and other instruments — rather than just a single drill.
Zygoma Drill Set — Size 2.0 / 2.8 / 3.0
A three-step progressive zygoma drilling sequence designed for accurate and controlled osteotomy preparation during zygomatic implant placement. The 2.0 mm pilot creates the initial path, 2.8 mm widens the channel, and the 3.0 mm final drill completes the osteotomy for narrow zygomatic implant sites or conservative bone removal.
Zygoma Drill Set — Size 2.8 / 3.0
A two-step zygoma drill set used for conservative osteotomy preparation in zygomatic implant procedures. The 2.8 mm pilot establishes direction, while the 3.0 mm drill completes a narrow final osteotomy for implants requiring minimal bone removal.
Zygoma Drill Set — Size 2.8 / 3.2
A standard and widely used two-step zygoma drill set for most zygomatic implant procedures. The 2.8 mm pilot creates the initial osteotomy path and the 3.2 mm drill achieves the ideal final diameter required for standard zygomatic implant placement.
