Can I Get Zygomatic Arch Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I wanted to know if you did custom zygomatic arch implants that offer less than 3 mm of projection on each side. Perhaps 2.5 mm or 2 mm?

A:In custom implant designing you make the implant have any dimensions the patient needs to achieve their objectives. The limitation in terms of ‘smallness’ is that the implant has to have a thickness of at least 2mm so it can actually be made.
