AOMI - Zygoma Implant Workshop

3 – 6 Nov, 2025 | India

Zygoma Implant Workshop

Date

3 - 6 Nov, 2025

Venue

Rajan Dental Institute, Chennai, India.

HIGHLIGHTS:

An international Zygoma surgery workshop was organized in Rajan Dental Institute,Chennai in collaboration with AOMI on Nov 3rd and 4th, 2025. A surgical procedure done during that workshop demonstrating double zygoma on one side of the maxilla, a single zygoma on the other side placed by the newly described buttress zygoma technique (Rajan et al) and a regular implant placed as a palato-nasal implant is edited and presented here. This new approach to rehabilitate the highly resorbed maxillae without any distal cantilever and without pterygoid implants will be a game-changer in maxillary graftless dento-alveolar rehabilitation.
