Zygomatic courses - Zygomatic training Full arch training - All on x training - Pterygoid training

More than 40% of the population over 60 years of age do not have teeth. Edentulism is a very serious and embarrassing disease for those who experience it. Prolonged use of dental prostheses and periodontal disease result in severe atrophies which are difficult to handle with classical regeneration techniques. Even despite performing advanced reconstruction techniques, implant placement can be difficult and require the use of advanced surgical alternatives, such as tilted and zygomatic implants.

The main objective of this course, rather than teaching a surgical technique, is to capture the integral concept of the management of severe atrophies through the different techniques available with an emphasis on all on x, pterygoid and zygomatic implants. This will be the mainstay of this program. The master training will be a shoulder-to-shoulder course of 2 to 3 days depending on the participants, maximum 3 doctors per course, in which the available techniques and their proper use will first be discussed. Our IMPLANTTEK® technique will be explained and then immersed in the world of full arch techniques in our way; fast, minimally invasive, without the need for general anesthesia and prosthetically guided, all cases leave our course with a temporary prosthesis converted in our facilities the same day of surgery.

It is necessary for participants to have experience in dental implants, and to have a clear concept of full arch management, and knowledge of the anatomy of the maxilla and the mandible.
