Core Curriculum Overview
This comprehensive training combines didactic sessions with hands-on experience to prepare clinicians for successful zygomatic and pterygoid implant therapy. Emphasizing prosthetically driven, conservative osteotomy preparation and innovative surgical techniques, participants will gain confidence in addressing complex cases. Key topics include detailed craniofacial anatomy, advanced 3D digital treatment planning, brain-guided and digitally guided surgical protocols, modern photogrammetry applications, and efficient restorative workflows.
The program features in-depth coverage of complication prevention and management, including proper patient selection, risk assessment, and handling of intraoperative challenges. Through interactive lectures, case discussions, and simulation exercises, attendees will master the nuances of implant placement angles, depth control, and soft tissue management. Special attention is given to understanding biomechanical principles, osseointegration factors, and prosthetic considerations that influence long-term success.
The course also covers emerging technologies, contemporary biomaterials, and evidence-based protocols for immediate loading scenarios. Participants will develop practical skills in virtual surgical planning, guided implant placement, and prosthetic rehabilitation while learning to optimize treatment outcomes through careful case selection and systematic approaches. Attendees will leave equipped to implement these advanced techniques immediately in their clinical practice.

What Attendees Are Saying
You guys perfected the system of transitioning, involving the attendance in the process, a good balance between clinical and didactic passing on really the key information that you really can take to your practice and use in everyday dentistry.
I've really gained a lot of knowledge for everything that I can take back to my practice. We don't do any zygoma, but now I feel comfortable to really build this into my practice.
Productive and effective course. I can't recommend these courses more highly for anybody wanting to advance their skills.
The course really explains everything that you need to know. Plus you have the hands-on, on the cadaver models. It makes it so much more realistic. The best class.
I took the demystifying Zygomas course, I can't imagine a place that lays it out with more clear protocols to keep you safe and give you amazing clinical outcomes.
