- The 1st Global Consensus for Clinical Guidelines (GCCG) introduced evidence-based recommendations for rehabilitating the edentulous maxilla.
- Group 2 focused on short, standard-length, and zygomatic implants for atrophic maxillae.
- The S2k-level guideline framework and nominal group technique were used to develop recommendations.
- Evidence included systematic reviews on patient-reported and clinician-reported outcomes, plus expert surveys.
- Six clinical recommendations were formulated, covering patient selection, surgical options, and treatment planning.
- All recommendations reached consensus, balancing surgical complexity, prosthetic feasibility, and patient-centered care.
- Future research should address gaps in standardized outcomes, loading protocols, and prosthetic strategies.
