Join us for “Zygoma: From fundamental concepts to practical application,” a comprehensive course led by Dr. Ruben Davo and Dr. Alexandra Marques. This three-day event covers everything from the history and anatomical considerations of zygomatic implants to advanced techniques and practical applications. You’ll explore various implant approaches, including intrasinus, sinus slot, and extrasinus techniques, as well as alternative graftless methods like transnasal and pterigopalatine implants. The course includes hands-on sessions with 3D models and cadavers, live surgery observations, and digital workflow integration. You’ll also learn about prosthesis design, facial aesthetics, and navigation technology for precision placement, with a focus on avoiding complications. This course ensures you gain the skills and knowledge to effectively apply zygomatic implant techniques in your practice.

2 Days of Clinical Residence with Prof. Paulo Malo, doing All-on-4® cases, Zygoma cases and single as well multiple implants in complex cases. Introduction to different techniques and new products: Hands-on, live surgery, lectures, prosthetics considerations and clinical case discussions. Follow complex prosthetic cases with the Malo Dental team.

The All-on-4® treatment concept is a highly efficient and effective solution for patients who are edentulous or facing tooth loss. This innovative approach uses four implants to support a full-arch prosthesis, which can be delivered immediately, offering patients rapid and reliable results. During 2 Days of Clinical Residence with Prof. Paulo Malo, the pioneer of the All-on-4®protocol, will guide on how the patient will have immediate function and excellent esthetics with a limited number of implants This course also introduces a variety of other cases such as zygoma, single and multiple implants through hands-on activities, live surgeries, lectures, prosthetic considerations, and clinical case discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to follow complex prosthetic cases guided by Prof. Paulo Malo, gaining practical skills and deeper clinical insight.

Learning outcomes:

• Explore different techniques and new products through  hands-on activities, live surgeries, and in-depth lectures.
• Gain insight into prosthetic considerations by following  complex clinical cases with the expert team.
• Understand the application of advanced surgical and  prosthetic protocols in patient care.
• Participate in clinical case discussions to enhance  decision-making and treatment planning skills.

The hands-on MIT course is designed to familiarize you with implant components both surgically and prosthetically. In addition, the goal is for you to gain comfort with the procedures as outlined below. For those of you with experience in dental implants, you will gain tips and tricks from our experienced clinicians. Given the synergy between surgery and prosthetics, it’s important to understand both, regardless of your area of interest.

Learning Objectives:

The following model-based procedures will be included in the hands-on instruction:

1) Review anatomy and surgical protocol

2) Place 2 implants for mandibular overdenture

3) Place single implants

4) Suturing procedures on a soft tissue model

5) Temporary crown fabrication

6) Place, pick up, and size locators for mandibular overdentures

An ideal treatment plan requires thorough esthetic, functional, and structural analysis, supported by radiographic and digital examinations. Necessary adjustments to optimize teeth and soft tissues are transferred to the technician to create a wax-up and a diagnostic/functional mock-up. With 3D technology, it is now possible to create a patient “avatar,” enhancing diagnosis, planning, communication, and interdisciplinary workflows — applicable to both esthetic cases and complex full-arch rehabilitations. In implant therapy, diagnosis and treatment planning is still more demanding due to the critical aspect of the soft tissue contour and volume.

The success of implant-supported prostheses depends on optimal integration of all interfaces prosthetic, esthetic, soft tissue, and bone — through well-chosen surgical and restorative protocols. A solid grasp of biological principles and proper material selection are essential for achieving a stable mucosal seal and natural esthetic outcomes. Perfect esthetic integration relies on three pillars: diagnosis and prosthetic planning, proper management of the bone compartment, and careful handling of the supracrestal soft tissue compartment. The latter, increasingly important in modern implantology, is critical for avoiding complications and major esthetic defects.

Safe treatment in esthetic zones begins with thorough evaluation and selection of the most suitable surgical-prosthetic strategy. Finalization requires in-depth knowledge of restorative materials to replicate in the definitive prosthesis all the features tested in provisionals. Close collaboration with the lab and the use of digital workflows improve quality and efficiency. Cementation — especially adhesive protocols — is a critical phase, with specific guidelines for glass ceramics and zirconia. New ceramic materials and adhesive techniques have reshaped restorative dentistry, promoting minimally invasive preparations that preserve enamel and tooth structure.             

Digital workflows, including intraoral scanning, integrate these solutions seamlessly. Managing provisional restorations and accurately transferring esthetic and functional parameters to the lab are key steps. During this week-long course, all these aspects will be thoroughly explored from both a scientific and clinical perspective, with a strong practical approach to enable immediate application of the illustrated protocols. Ample attention will be devoted to the latest advancements in fixed prosthodontics and interdisciplinary protocols, with the aim of optimizing prognosis and the integration of the prosthetic restoration.

The objective of this 3 days course, is to provide the attendees with a deep theoretical knowledge but more important with a deep hands-on experience on the management of implants in the esthetic zone in order to achieve the best esthetic results.

In this course one live surgery will be performed by Dr. Gamborena placing an implant in the esthetic zone either immediate or staged. 4 Attendees will learn to harvest tissue for connective tissue grafts as well as different suturing techniques. A prosthetic and a surgical hands-on workshop will be performed by the attendees in order to have a global experience in this type of high advance implant esthetic courses.
