Zygoma Implant treatments in chennai

What is a zygoma?

The cheekbone also known as malar bone is scientifically known as the zygomatic bone.

When implants are planned for the upper jaw, it is a difficult situation. The upper jaw poses the following problems

•  Poor quality of bone available in the upper jaw

•  Decreased width and height of bone

•  The presence of sinus in the upper jaw also reduces the available height of bone in the back tooth regions.

Hence we almost, always have a weak bone in the upper jaw. So when there isn’t enough height of jaw bone to support an implant, the cheekbone is used to take support by providing longer size implants. The advantage of this will be that implants may not get easily affected like a conventional implant from infection since the size of the implant is longer and the malar bone being thick is resistant to disease.

This method is mainly used for severely resorbed upper jaws and is designed to allow immediate replacement with fixed prosthetic teeth.

If the case is found too complicated or severe, two zygomatic implants may be placed on each side, which is known as Quad Zygoma.
