DESCRIPTION:
The number of edentulous patients with severe maxillary atrophy is growing. Often, these patients desire a return to normalcy without the need for extensive bone grafting or sinus elevation procedures, and zygomatic implants may be just the solution they are looking for. Dr Carlos Aparicio developed the zygoma-anatomy guided approach (ZAGA) so that individuals with diverse needs and anatomies can each benefit from patient-specific treatment. Learn the ins-and-outs of planning and placing zygomatic implants and providing good follow-up care. This comprehensive text is your first step toward confidence in placing zygomatic implants.
