  "account": "Doha, Qatar: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has successfully completed the first subperiosteal implant and jaw reconstruction in the country using advanced 3D technology. This groundbreaking procedure, carried out at Al Wakra Hospital in collaboration with HMC's Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery Department, offers a solution for patients who are not suitable candidates for traditional dental implants. The innovative technique, led by Dr. Khalid Abdel-Galil, involves the use of three-dimensional imaging and virtual surgical planning to create an accurate digital model of the patient's jaw, ensuring customized surgical components and precise planning. The surgery, performed on a sixty-year-old woman who had lost all lower teeth and experienced jawbone atrophy, provides immediate dental rehabilitation with functional teeth placed directly following the procedure. This cutting-edge technology, one of the latest global advances in oral and maxillofacial surgery, enables the design of personalized treatment solutions that enhance safety, precision, and faster recovery, ultimately improving the quality of life and treatment outcomes in highly specialized surgical fields.",
