Innovative Non-Zygomatic Techniques for Full-Arch Success
Innovative Non-Zygomatic Approaches for Predictable Full-Arch Rehabilitation. A Pikos signature course for general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, prosthodontists, and implant specialists seeking to broaden their full-arch reconstruction repertoire and offer minimally invasive atrophy solutions
Course led by Dr. Michael A. Pikos & Dr. Safa Tahmasebi
Course Overview
Transform your management of the most challenging atrophic cases—master alternative fixation methods that minimize risks, expand accessibility, and deliver predictable full-arch results without relying only on zygomatic implants.
This three-day intensive live course focuses on the full spectrum of advanced atrophy solutions - beyond traditional zygomatic implants. While zygomatic fixation remains a mainstay for severe bone loss, it carries risks—sinusitis, soft-tissue breakdown, orbital injury, large oral-antral communications, and the need for sophisticated equipment and axillary personnel that can challenge even the seasoned surgeons.
Under the guidance of Dr. Michael Pikos & Dr. Safa Tahmasebi, you’ll explore refined non-zygomatic approaches, including the palatal technique, trans-sinus anchorage, pterygoid fixation, sub-nasal fixtures, and strategic utilization of paranasal bone in achieving fixation required for immediate function.
Through a blend of didactic lectures, 3D planning demonstrations, and 4K video of surgical procedures over 3.5 days, you’ll learn to select the optimal fixation method for each anatomical presentation, anticipate and prevent complications, and apply the latest implant technologies to enhance primary stability.
Our emphasis focuses on patient selection, anesthesia considerations, and team coordination—ensuring your auxiliary staff is primed for these advanced procedures. At course completion, you’ll confidently integrate these alternative techniques into your practice to deliver safer, more accessible full-arch reconstructions.
