Advanced Full Arch Implants: Zygomas, Pterygoids, and More on Cadavers.
Take your Full Arch Practice to the next level
Courses:
March 6 - 7, 2026 - Dallas, TX with Dr. Clark Damon and Dr. Fayette Williams
Lecture
Dr. Damon will prepare attendees with the knowledge to perform zygomatic and pterygoid implants in their day to day clinical practice. Lecture topics include: ZAGA Classification, Anatomy Review, Surgical Instrumentation, and Prosthodontic Consideration.
Zygomatic Implants
This course will teach you how to break down zygomatic anatomy in the ZAGA philosophy and Extra-maxillary approach. We will discuss all aspects of single zygoma in a PATZi protocol unto Quad Zygoma Configuration. Our goal is to teach you the A-frame concept when approaching the Quad Zygoma patient.
Nasal Crest
To go from AOX standard to PATZi, the Nasal Crest approach has many benefits for clinicians: additional implant length, dense bone, more BIC, added stability, and ability to obtain a thinner prosthesis due to optimized screw channel access.
Hands on Models
Practice your zygomatic, pterygoid, and other advanced implant configuration approaches on models. Explore the Neodent Surgical kit and practice placing the 45 degree abutment optimizing screw channel positioning.
Pterygoid Implants
Dr. Damon who has completed over 1,100 pterygoid implants, teaches you both the drilling technique and the osteotome technique. Learn all the angles, proper screw-channel access, and how to predictably place pterygoid implants on all of your patients. We will also discuss restorative considerations as well.
Cadavers
Take “the learn” from lecture and hands on models onto your cadaver. Attendees will place pterygoids, zygomatic, trans-sinus, trans-nasal, and nasal crest. Single and Quad zygomatic configurations can be done by attendees.
Trans-Nasal
Popularized by Professor Vanderlim and Dr. David Zellig, learn when a Trans-nasal approach is appropriate, how much sub-nasal bone is needed, learn relevant anatomy such as NLD (nasolacrimal duct), and what types of implants are needed.
Trans-Sinus
Maximize AP spread without having to opt for a zygomatic implant. Trans-sinus can help maximize your case in a simple approach. Learn tips and tricks, along with proper case selection.
