Mastering Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implant Techniques

The Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implant Cadaver Workshop focuses on advanced techniques for full-arch rehabilitation in patients with severe maxillary atrophy. Participants will learn the ZAGA (Zygoma Anatomy Guided Approach), a patient-specific method that optimizes implant placement while preserving anatomical structures.

This course emphasizes:
• Zygomatic and pterygoid implant placement for immediate full-arch restoration.
• ZAGA conservative osteotomy to minimize bone loss and maintain sinus membrane integrity.
• Osseodensification techniques to enhance primary stability and long-term success.
• Step-by-step surgical protocols for safe and predictable outcomes.
• Complication management to prevent and address surgical challenges.

Hands-on training on human cadaver heads ensures an authentic surgical experience, preparing participants to confidently apply these techniques in clinical practice.

What will you learn in this program?

  • Comprehend the ZAGA (Zygoma Anatomy Guided Approach) and its implementation for patient-specific treatment.
  • Learn the clinical and surgical anatomy of the midface, with a focus on the zygomatic and pterygoid processes of the sphenoid bone.
  • Understand the different ZAGA implant osteotomies and their clinical applications.
  • Master the surgical technique for placing pterygoid implants safely and effectively.
  • Optimize zygomatic implant site development and osteotomy using the ZAGA conservative approach and osseodensification to preserve bone structure and maintain sinus membrane integrity.
  • Recognize, manage, and prevent complications related to zygomatic and pterygoid implant therapy.
