Treatment of the Severely Atrophic Maxilla with Remote Anchorage Implants

Presented by Daniel Holtzclaw, DDS, MS
(Speaker sponsored by Snoasis Medical)

Program Description

Patients with severe maxillary atrophy are often told that they are doomed to a life of ill-fitting dentures secured by glues and pastes. Fortunately, advanced surgical treatments such as zygomatic and pterygoid implants offer hope for these patients. Although they have been in use for over 50 years, Pterygoid implants are one of the least understood styles of dental implant treatment. This may be due to the fact that pterygoid implants are widely considered to be one of the most difficult fixtures to place in all of implant dentistry. Zygomatic implants, on the other hand, are widely considered to be the most feared style of dental implant treatment due to the implant fixture’s proximity to the eye. This course will provide knowledge and guidance for incorporating these styles of treatment into your full arch dental implant practice.

Program Objectives:

  • Understand when Zygomatic and Pterygoid implants can and should be used
  • Learn about treatment options for atrophic maxillary arch
