Zygomatic Implants explores the advanced dental prosthetic technique of using zygomatic implants, which are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) to support dental restorations in patients with severe maxillary bone loss. It covers indications for zygomatic implant placement, surgical procedures, and the integration of these implants with fixed or removable prostheses. The book emphasizes the importance of precise surgical planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the management of potential complications to ensure successful outcomes. Suitable for oral surgeons and prosthodontists, it includes clinical guidelines, case studies, and best practices for implementing zygomatic implant treatments. Additionally, it explores the role of imaging technologies and custom prosthetic solutions in enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of zygomatic implant-supported restorations.
Ezra Gaines specializes in the toxicological safety of zygomatic implants, focusing on their use in dental prosthetics for patients with severe bone loss. His research explores the biocompatibility and potential toxic exposures associated with materials used in zygomatic implants, ensuring their safety and effectiveness in complex dental restorations. Ezra has developed protocols to minimize chemical risks during the implantation process, enhancing patient outcomes and implant longevity. He has published numerous studies on the advancements and safety considerations in zygomatic implantology.
