Description
The ZAGA Cadaver Course: Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants provides an unparalleled educational experience in advanced implant rehabilitation for the severely resorbed maxilla. Based on the internationally recognized ZAGA philosophy developed by Dr. Carlos Aparicio, this 4-day program combines scientific insight, surgical precision, and evidence-based protocols to achieve predictable outcomes. With the inclusion of a dedicated pterygoid implant module, participants gain a holistic understanding of remote anchorage solutions, encompassing both intra- and extra-sinus approaches. The course emphasizes clinical reasoning, treatment planning using DICOM imaging, and complication management. Participants will also benefit from hands-on cadaver sessions and 3D model exercises that replicate real surgical conditions.
