Predictors of Infrazygomatic Crest Implant Failure: A Prospective Study on Risk Factors, Stability, and Clinical Outcomes in Orthodontic Anchorage
IZC implant failure is multifactorial, with mobility, inflammation, and poor oral hygiene emerging as critical risk factors. Although bone density played a role, implant placement characteristics significantly influenced success. Clinicians should prioritize optimal insertion angles (45-90<sup>0</sup>), longer implants (14 mm), and strict peri-implant hygiene.
