Purpose: To assess the pain, swelling, infection, and alteration in sensation following the flapless placement of zygomatic implants guided by dynamic navigation. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 20 patients. In group 1, the placement of the zygomatic implants was carried out without reflecting a mucoperiosteal flap (flapless). In group 2, a mucoperiosteal flap was raised (flapped). Two zygomatic implants were placed in each patient (one on each side) under local anesthesia, guided by dynamic navigation. Postoperative evaluations included pain (using the visual analogue scale [VAS]), swelling (using standard measurements), maxillary sinus infection, and alteration of sensation (using mechanical stimuli, thermal threshold detection, and a two-point discrimination test). The assessments were carried out at 2 days, 1 week, and then 1, 2, and 3 months postoperatively. Results: In group 1, all implants except for one were successfully osseointegrated. Immediate postoperative pain and swelling were both significantly greater in group 2 (P < .01). No alteration in sensation was detected in any case in the two groups. There were a total of three cases of chronic sinusitis: one in group 1 and two in group 2. Conclusions: The flapless placement of zygomatic implants guided by dynamic navigation and under local anesthesia improves postoperative recovery.
