SMILE AGAIN WITH ZYGOMA IMPLANTS IN TURKEY
Turkey Medicals, “Zygoma, that is, the cheekbone implant, has an advantage over other implants. Because the cheekbone is an excellent area for implants to hold on,” was said.
Dental implants can help you restore your natural smile. Your smile is your most precious asset. A friendly smile conveys warmth and openness to those who see it, while a beautiful smile offers confidence, youth and vitality.
If you have lost your teeth or are uncomfortable with your replaced tooth, you are not as satisfied with your smile as you should be.
If you can’t smile due to missing teeth or a partial or full denture that causes discomfort, you will be happy to know that there is a treatment that can give you back your smile thanks to dental implants.
Dental implants serve as root prostheses for missing teeth, providing a basis for new teeth in Turkey.

WHY ZYGOMA DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants offer you more important advantages compared to other treatment options:
Improved quality of life
The ability to re-enjoy a wide range of food
No need for complex dental adhesives
The care of implants is the same as that of natural teeth
Enhanced image
It helps prevent bone resorption, thereby preserving the natural lines
A better health
It improves chewing and, thanks to this, helps digestion
More self-confidence
Get rid of uncomfortable moments spent with unsupported prostheses.
.
ADVANTAGES OF THE ZYGOMA IMPLANT
There is no bone loss, it creates a beautiful appearance
Very easy to care for – just like your natural teeth
There is no harm to adjacent healthy teeth
A long-term solution
Increases the ability to consume a wide range of foods
Potential cost savings
If you have lost one or more of your teeth, a single implant and implant crown will replace a single missing tooth.
If you have lost all your teeth; several dental implants are placed to replace all missing teeth with a fixed prosthesis and your new teeth are added safely.
Multiple missing teeth are replaced by multiple implants and implant crowns or bridges
To replace all missing teeth with a removable prosthesis, two dental implants are inserted and locator inserts are used to strengthen your prosthesis
.
DISADVANTAGES OF OTHER TREATMENTS
Ongoing bone loss
The potential need for complex adhesives
Limited aesthetic appearance and limited comfort
Have a short or medium term solution
Limitation of food options
Recurring costs.
Prosthetic teeth and implant placement in patients with extremely molten upper jaw bone present challenges for both surgeons and prosthetics specialists. If only conventional implants are to be used in patients with melted upper jaw bone, bone grafting may often be required before placing the implant in the area where the implant will be applied. This procedure usually involves raising the base of the sinus and performing bone grafts. In these applications, the fact that the treatment is laborious and difficult, the long duration of treatment, the costs and potential complications are important considerations. These are also important factors that cause patients to turn away from treatment.

THE CHEEKBONE IMPLANT ZYGOMA
Bone grafting methods are often avoided with zygoma (cheekbone) implants, and patients can continue to use a temporary prosthesis for the duration of treatment. Zygomatic implants, when used properly, provide an alternative treatment option for many patients with fused upper jaw bone.
The success of traditional implants applied to the upper jaw bone may be controversial depending on the amount and quality of the bone. Especially in patients with severely fused upper jaw bone or in patients who have had part or all of the upper jaw bone removed due to tumors, zygomatic implants have been an alternative to extensive surgical procedures in recent years. The main support of these implants, the length of which is from 45 mm to 55 mm, is provided by fixation to the cheekbone.
.
ALLOWS IT TO HOLD ON TO THE BONE
The surgical protocol for zigoma implants requires a highly skilled surgeon or extensive navigation techniques.
The main indications for implants of this particular type are as follows:
Maxillectomies performed after tumors (removal of the upper jaw bone)
Failures in the practice of providing bone in the upper jaw with bone grafts
In order to avoid the practice of providing bone in the upper jaw with bone grafts
The cheekbone is an excellent area for implants to hold on and provide support for the prosthesis. Most anatomical studies have confirmed this condition. The researchers agreed that the quality of the cheekbone is superior to the quality of the bone in the posterior region of the upper jaw. This allows the applied implant to hold on to the bone more strongly.
The most important complications in the treatment with zygomatic implants are the loss of implants. With the loss of the zygoma implant, there may be serious problems with receiving support from the posterior region, excessive forces may be applied to other implants. In order to correct the resulting imbalance, it is necessary to re-insert a second implant into the same area.
Radiographs, which include the ideal positioning of zygomatic implants
1- Radiographic image before the surgical stage
2- Radiographic image after surgery
3- Posterior-anterior radiography
4- Lateral head radiography.

ANTALYA CLINICAL EVALUATION BEFORE SURGERY
Today, thanks to additional implants applied together with zygomatic implants, stabilization of prostheses applied to the upper jaw is achieved. But in order for this application to be performed, the amount of bone in the anterior region of the upper jaw should allow two, preferably four, conventional implants to be placed. In addition, there should be no infection in the sinuses of the patients and there should be an acceptable amount of soft tissue in the area where the implants will be placed. Treatment planning of patients should be carried out before the placement of implants. The patient’s medical and physical condition should be at a level that tolerates a two-hour surgical procedure and general anesthesia or deep sedation. The dental patient’s mouth opening should allow the placement of zygomatic implants with a length of 30 mm to 52.5 mm.
