Training
The Zygomatic Implant Oncology Course
Hands-On Cadaveric Training
A unique two-day hands-on cadaver workshop for Consultants and senior trainees in OMFS, ENT, Head & Neck Surgery, and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics.
This course, the first of its kind in the UK, brings together over 15 years of clinical experience from the Liverpool-based clinical team in the use of conventional and oncology-modified Zygomatic Implants in the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with maxillary and mid-facial malignant tumours.
Learn how to take the low-level maxillectomy patient from resection to full fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation within a matter of weeks post surgery, and how zygomatic implants can be used to provide early loading opportunities for patients requiring prosthetic obturators, rhinectomy and mid-facial resections.
