These implants can be made of a variety of materials and are available in different sizes. Zygomatic implants are usually inserted above the cheek arch. They are a functional and aesthetic solution for a wide variety of maxillofacial issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zygomatic implants are designed to mimic the natural shape and contour of the cheekbones. While the shape of the implants can vary depending on the condition of the patient, there are two main types of zygomatic implants: <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-17-at-10.24.26-AM-900x615.png\" alt=\"Zygomatic Dental Implant\" class=\"wp-image-11017\" width=\"437\" height=\"300\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fixed<\/strong>: This type of implant is permanently set at a particular angle and position.

Maxillofacial deformities often result from injury to the nasal cavity, sinuses, or <a href=\"https:\/\/sapteeth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teeth<\/a>. They can also be caused by certain infections or tumors. For example, people with cystic fibrosis are at an increased risk of developing maxillary atrophic deformities due to the chronic bacterial infections. These deformities <a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/all-about-zygomatic-dental-implant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can be corrected with surgery, <\/a>but the best results are obtained when the procedure is performed as early as possible. Zygomatic implants can correct several maxillofacial deformities, including sunken cheeks, underdeveloped cheekbones, a narrow jawline, and a receded mandible. They can also be used in people who have had facial trauma, have lost volume due to aging, or have a congenital defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#fffffa;background-color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-zygomatic-dental-implants\">Types of Zygomatic Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/services\/dental-implant-zygomatic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fixed Zygomatic Implants<\/a>: This type of implant is permanently set at a particular angle and position.

For fixed implants: The incision is made behind the ears and along the hairline. The temporalis muscle is gently lifted away from the skull and the implant is placed above the <a href=\"https:\/\/zygomaticimplant.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">zygomatic arch<\/a>. The implant is fixed in place using screws or other mechanical devices. The implant is then covered with the temporalis muscle, which is sutured to the skull. For resorbable implants: The incision is made behind the ears and along the hairline. The temporalis muscle is gently lifted away from the skull and the implant is placed above the zygomatic arch. The implant is fixed in place using wires or other mechanical devices.
