The Science Behind Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implants
Zygomatic implants go into the cheekbone, while pterygoid implants go into a part of the skull called the pterygoid process. This innovative approach provides a strong base for new teeth when the upper jaw is very thin. Pterygoid implants are successful about 90.7% of the time, making them highly effective for challenging cases.
One significant benefit of these implants is that patients can receive new teeth immediately, offering faster treatment and healing compared to traditional dental implants. Discover the benefits of advanced implant techniques and how they can impact challenging cases.
Hands-on Training and Practical Experience
A crucial part of the Pikos Institute course is hands-on training with cadavers and live patient surgeries. This practical experience is essential for mastering advanced techniques, enabling clinicians to implement them in their practices.
Expert teachers, including Dr. Michael A. Pikos and his team, will guide you on planning and executing complex implant cases. Experience our hands-on training approach to excel in these techniques. The course covers all aspects of zygomatic and pterygoid implants, which are beneficial for patients with insufficient bone in their upper jaws, eliminating the need for large bone grafts.
