Description

COURSE EXPERIENCE
Build surgical confidence through a layered curriculum: didactic protocols, CBCT planning logic, hands-on model surgery, and cadaver anatomy application.

HANDS-ON FOCUS
- Zygomatic anatomy and risk-mapping
- Prosthetic-driven implant trajectory
- Flap design, exposure, and visualization
- Osteotomy sequence and angulation control
- Cadaver lab transfer of surgical protocol

Course Objective

- Select appropriate cases for zygomatic implant treatment based on anatomy, prosthetic goals, and risk profile.
- Analyze CBCT anatomy with attention to zygomatic bone volume, sinus condition, trajectory, and restorative emergence.
- Plan traditional, extrasinus, hybrid, and quad zygoma concepts based on patient anatomy and restorative objectives.
- Perform a stepwise surgical workflow on models and cadaver specimens, including exposure, osteotomy pathway, and implant angulation.
- Identify surgical checkpoints that improve safety, efficiency, instrumentation flow, and team communication.
- Recognize common complications and develop prevention and management strategies for zygomatic implant cases.

2-Day Course Flow

Day 1: Didactics, CBCT planning, anatomy landmarks, model surgery
Day 1 PM: Guided protocol rehearsal and restorative-driven planning
Day 2: Cadaver lab: exposure, osteotomy path, angulation control
Day 2 PM: Complications, protocol refinement, case review, Q&A
