Biomechanical Principles and the Management of Potential Complications Using the Zygoma Implants; Algorithms for Success
This presentation shares the biomechanical principles and the management of potential complications using the Zygoma implants.
The management of intra-operative as well as post operative complications using the “All-on-4®” as well as the “Zygoma Concept” is
presented.
Learning Objectives:
• Treatment planning concepts for maxillary immediate full arch reconstruction
• Prosthetic and surgical principles for treatment of the edentulous maxilla
• Presentation of decision making algorithms for management of complications of the use of zygomatic implants for full arch
immediate reconstruction
