Course Abstract

Zygomatic implant therapy is an advanced treatment modality for the rehabilitation of patients with severe maxillary atrophy and complex anatomical limitations. Originally developed by Per-Ingvar Brånemark for maxillary defect reconstruction, the technique has evolved significantly in response to advances in surgical protocols, implant design, biomechanics, and digital technology.

This course provides an evidence-based review of contemporary zygomatic implant treatment, focusing on clinical indications, anatomy-guided surgical approaches, prosthetically driven planning, and graftless immediate loading protocols. Emphasis is placed on patient safety, risk assessment, complication prevention, and long-term treatment outcomes, in accordance with Australian CPD requirements.

This program supports surgeons in maintaining and enhancing professional competence through structured learning that improves clinical decision-making, technical execution, and patient outcomes in complex implant rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives | Clinical Knowledge & Skills

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the evolution, indications, and evidence base for zygomatic implant therapy in severely atrophic maxillae
  • Compare and apply different surgical protocols, including intra-sinus, extra-sinus, and anatomy-guided zygomatic implant approaches
  • Implement prosthetically driven treatment planning, integrating biomechanical and soft-tissue principles to optimise functional and aesthetic outcomes
  • Select appropriate zygomatic implant designs and positions based on anatomical constraints and restorative objectives
  • Execute graftless, immediate loading protocols safely and predictably in full-arch rehabilitation cases

Risk Management & Patient Safety

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify biomechanical risk factors associated with zygomatic implant therapy and apply principles of force distribution and quad-cortical stabilisation
  • Recognise common surgical and prosthetic complications, and apply strategies for their prevention and management
  • Define clinical success criteria and outcome measures to support long-term biological and prosthetic stability

Professional Practice & Digital Integration

Participants will be able to:

  • Integrate a complete digital workflow for zygomatic implant treatment, including diagnosis, planning, surgical execution, and prosthetic delivery
  • Apply a patient-centred approach to treatment planning, ensuring informed consent, appropriate case selection, and realistic expectation management
