Innovative Non-Zygomatic Techniques for Full-Arch Success

Innovative Non-Zygomatic Techniques for Full-Arch Success is organized by Pikos Institute and will be held from Aug 13 - 15, 2026 at Pikos Institute Inc, New Port Richey, Trinity, Florida, United States of America.

Description:
This three-day intensive live course focuses on the full spectrum of advanced atrophy solutions - beyond traditional zygomatic implants. While zygomatic fixation remains a mainstay for severe bone loss, it carries risks—sinusitis, soft-tissue breakdown, orbital injury, large oral-antral communications, and the need for sophisticated equipment and axillary personnel that can challenge even the seasoned surgeons.

Under the guidance of Dr. Michael Pikos & Dr. Safa Tahmasebi, you’ll explore refined non-zygomatic approaches, including the palatal technique, trans-sinus anchorage, pterygoid fixation, sub-nasal fixtures, and strategic utilization of paranasal bone in achieving fixation required for immediate function.

Through a blend of didactic lectures, 3D planning demonstrations, and 4K video of surgical procedures over 3.5 days, you’ll learn to select the optimal fixation method for each anatomical presentation, anticipate and prevent complications, and apply the latest implant technologies to enhance primary stability.

Our emphasis focuses on patient selection, anesthesia considerations, and team coordination—ensuring your auxiliary staff is primed for these advanced procedures. At course completion, you’ll confidently integrate these alternative techniques into your practice to deliver safer, more accessible full-arch reconstructions.

Why Attend This Live Course
Master Safer, More Accessible Atrophy Solutions  
Unlock the potential of innovative, non-zygomatic techniques for achieving predictable full-arch rehabilitation in patients with atrophic jaws.

Guidance through creative and practical alternatives
Eliminate the need for advanced procedures like zygomatic implants or sinus grafting.

Gain hands-on expertise in five cutting-edge non-zygomatic fixation techniques?
We cover palatal, trans-sinus, pterygoid, sub-nasal, and paranasal anchorage procedures - that minimize sinus and soft-tissue complications, reduce the need for general anesthesia, and expand your ability to treat severe maxillary atrophy under conscious sedation.

Discover how to leverage the palatal approach, pterygoid fixation, and the use of the piriform rim and paranasal bone to achieve primary fixation.
Provide immediate function and load the implants without the delays of grafting, making the process faster and more predictable for your patients.  

Elevate Your Practice with Predictable Full-Arch Outcomes
Learn streamlined workflows incorporating the latest implant designs and guided surgery protocols to enhance primary stability, optimize case acceptance, and confidently manage even the most challenging full-arch reconstructions—setting your practice apart as a leader in advanced implant dentistry.
