The ultimate dental implant challenge is reconstruction of the severely resorbed maxilla, especially in patients with multiple previous failed attempts at dental implant placement and full arch implant rehabilitation. Zygomatic implants were first used for reconstruction of large maxillofacial defects. They now are commonly used in patients with terminal dentition with atrophic maxillary bone to provide implant-retained fixed and removable prosthesis utilizing the zygomatic bones to anchor the dental implants. Pterygoid and patient-specific implants (PSIs) have been added to the arsenal. This comprehensive, step-by-step course will cover the zygomatic, pterygoid and PSI surgical and presurgical planning and surgical procedures protocols including multiple techniques commonly utilized to place these implants.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. Determine the treatment plan and select patients for zygomatic implants.
  2. Determine the treatment plan and select patients for pterygoid implants.
  3. Determine the treatment plan and select patients for PSI.
  4. Discuss anatomical and X-ray interpretation connected with the evaluation of the atrophic maxilla.
  5. Examine the surgical protocols for conventional and extra-maxillary placement of the zygomatic dental implants.
