FIRST ZAGA COURSE IN NORTH AMERICA!

Learn to Confidently Perform This Revolutionary Protocol and Offer Real Solutions and Hope to Patients Presenting with Severely Atrophic Maxilla

Dr. Carlos Aparicio | Dr. Michael A. Pikos

The ZAGA zygomatic implant course is based on a more than 25 year journey in the rehabilitation of the severely resorbed maxilla. This is an intensive 3 day course that will focus on the entire ZAGA (Zygoma Anatomy Guided Approach) concept. It will feature patient specific zygomatic therapy and include detailed science based protocols for minimally invasive zygomatic osteotomies, maximum BIC, preservation
of sinus integrity (minimizing morbidity, both short term and long term), avoiding soft tissue recession, and achieving true prosthetically driven optimal implant stability long term. Prevention and treatment of complications will be covered in detail. Lecture discussion will be 1.5 days and followed by intense hands on model surgery (3 case types) and cryo preserved cadaver head surgery.

The Pikos Institute is honored to partner with Dr. Carlos Aparicio for this first time ever North American ZAGA course that is a comprehensive approach to Zygomatic implant therapy for the severely atrophic maxilla.
