Unilateral/Bilateral Zygoma Augmentation PEEK
Patients requiring zygomatic augmentation, for example those with uni lateral zygomatic facial asymmetry resulting from either trauma or congenital defects, would be helped best with a patient specific implant made to match their anatomy. Using mirroring, we can restore facial symmetry, taking the facial nerve into account. The PEEK implant is fixated with pre-planned sunken screws. Optionally the PEEK implant can be modified interoperatively with high-speed burrs.
Mandible Augmentation/ Mandibular Chin
Mandible augmentation with a PEEK onlay implant is commonly used to augment the mandible as a result of birth defects or trauma. Most often the goal is to achieve symmetry in the mandible of the patient. Occasionally, both sides require augmentation; in these cases we try to find a matching mandible from our database as a starting point for the design of the augmentation. PEEK is the chosen material, since this augments the skeleton and does not dissolve. Also PEEK can be modified interoperatively for finetuning the cosmetic appearance.
