   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Alveolar bone resorption is a common side effect of tooth removal (extraction) due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or infection that limits dental implant placement. Surgical bone augmentation is associated with limitations such as high cost, bone graft rejection or failure, pain, infection, and the addition of 6–12 months to the treatment ...

7. Zygoma implant - Wikipedia

   Bone grafting procedures in the jaws have the disadvantage of prolonged treatment time, restriction of denture wear, morbidity of the donor surgical site and graft rejection. [ 4 ] Zygoma implants were first introduced in late 1990s by Dr. Per Ingvar Brånemark , widely acknowledged as the "Father of Dental Implantology".
