Innovative Non-Zygomatic Techniques for Full-Arch Success

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-and-a-half-day intensive course with cadaver lab 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 A. 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 three and a half 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.
