this is basic seminar on implant retained maxillofacial prosthesis including that which are the different types of facial defects and how are they rehabilitated with implants.
Fixed prosthodontic treatment can offer exceptional satisfaction for both patient and the dentist. Fixed Prosthodontics can transform an unhealthy, unattractive dentition with poor function into a comfortable, healthy occlusion capable of giving years of further service while greatly enhancing esthetics.
Nothing is more important in the construction of fixed partial dentures than an adequate diagnosis and a well-devised treatment plan. Although these two subjects are usually considered together. Astute dentists must recognize their subtle differences. Diagnosis is an evaluation of the condition of the patient when he presents for treatment. Treatment planning concerns the treatment procedures by which the dentist will restore the patient to an optimum state of dental health.

Many patients have been told that they are not candidates for dental implants due to lack of bone in the upper jaw. These patients can benefit from an implant developed by Professor Per Ingvar Brånemark. This implant is called the zygomatic implant ,which provides an excellent alternative to bone grafting procedures for the severely resorbed jaw bone with minimal surgical trauma and maximum oral function.
The Zygomatic Implants are attached to the area of the jawbone close to the zygoma bone.
The extra-long implant is placed from inside the mouth near the location of the bicuspid teeth, it goes through or right next to the sinus and anchors into the thick and solid zygomatic bone.
The common recovery time after this procedure is about four months in length. After this time, a final restoration can be applied to completely finish the operation. By the end of this period, patients can enjoy their new set of teeth.
The placement of zygomatic implants requires surgical experience and expertise in the field of implantology.
Dr Sachdeva’s Dental ,Aesthetic And Implant Institute is one of the leading clinics in Delhi to perform zygomatic implants.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

63. Compared with a control group of non-irradiated patients, implant failures
are higher after previous radiotherapy. High implant failures were
especially seen after high dose radiotherapy and a long time after
irradiation. All craniofacial regions were affected, but the highest implant
failures were seen in frontal bone, zygoma, mandible, and nasal maxilla.
The lowest implant failures were seen in the oral maxilla. The use of long
fixtures, fixed retention, and adjuvant HBO decreased implant failures.
66. An implantation should be considered after puberty in adolescents.
A temporary solution is offered by an adhesive retained prosthesis.
In case of malformations in children it should not be forgotten that the
young patients should indeed be cared for and their wishes be respected

75. CONCLUSION
The discovery of osseointegration has been arguably one of the
most beneficial medical breakthroughs especially in the head and
neck region. These implants have also revolutionized the scope and
the efficacy of rehabilitation of the entire craniofacial region.
The science of craniofacial implantology will ensure that the
patients receive the most comprehensive rehabilitation that can be
offered and ensure that their early return to form and function.
