What the program covers
This comprehensive program focuses on the use of zygomatic and pterygoid implants in the treatment of the severely atrophic maxilla. The program will cover a range of clinical configurations, including single, hybrid, and quad zygomatic implant cases, as well as various pterygoid implant configurations.
The program will provide an in-depth approach to diagnosis and treatment planning, the principles of immediate loading, step-by-step surgical protocols, implant positioning, and the prevention and management of potential complications.
Anatomy-based implant placement will be a central component of the program. Participants will learn principles of conservative osteotomy preparation, prosthetically guided implant positioning, and the management of relevant soft- and hard-tissue considerations.
