Aim: To determine the level of awareness and knowledge on zygomatic implant in severely atrophic maxilla among dental professionals. Objective: Since a few researches exist on this material, this study was performed to evaluate the awareness and knowledge of zygomatic implant among dental professionals. Methodology: This study was conducted among dental professionals from various universities. The study was conducted on a sample size of 100 dental professionals. A simple open ended questionnaire with 15 questions was given to the dentists from various departments to assess their awareness and knowledge on zygomatic impant. The results were recorded. Results: The study sample consisted of 100 private practitioners. Most of the practitioners were aware about the severely atrophic maxilla (72.1%). Majority of practitioners were aware about the existence of zygomatic implant (72%) as an alternative for replacing teeth. Majority of them were not aware about the Bedrossian classification (70%) for severely atrophic maxilla. Conclusion: The zygomatic implant is an alternative procedure to bone augmentation, maxillary sinus lift and to bone grafts in patients with posterior atrophic maxilla. The zygomatic implant technique should be regarded as a major surgical procedure and proper training is needed.
