· CraniumImplants: These medical implants can becustomized as per requirement since they are used for cranioplasty, correctivesurgery, and neurosurgery. Sharma Orthopedic manufactures them indifferent dimensions and configurations so they fit the patient appropriately. The most common indications that cranial implants are used forinclude large bone defects after oncology treatment, head injury, and cranialsuture defects.
· Mid-Face Implants: Also, known as the submalar implants, this part of the face shows the first signs of aging - droopyeyelids, swollen eye bags, shrunken cheeks, etc., are some of them. This lossof structure caused due to the natural agingprocess can be a reason why many people opt for mid-face implants. The mid-faceimplants help restore the lost volume of this portion and can last a lifetimewhen properly taken care of.
· Mandible Implants: Mandible, in simple terms, is the lower jaw portion. It is one of the most affected partsof the cranio maxillofacial structure that gets injured due toaccidental cases. However, the body, angle, and ramus of the mandible provide enhanced structure to our face by creating aperfect jawline. So, any distortion to the mandible can be a seriousconcern. Therefore, a mandible implant is always helpful to correct any jawdeformity or even a broken jaw.
Characteristics of Cranio Maxillofacial Implants:
ü Biocompatiblematerial - Compatibility of the craniomaxillofacial implants with the internal body tissues ensures that they do notshow any adverse effects caused due to immunologicalresponses. Theusage of stainless steel and titanium-like materials guarantees the efficacy of implants.
