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.
What You Will Learn
Surgical Techniques
Understand the indications and surgical techniques for the placement of angled implants including co-axial dental, conventional zygomatic and oncology zygomatic implants.
Zygomatic Implants
Learn to insert conventional zygomatic implants with appropriate management of the maxillary sinus and when to undertake localised bone grafting at time of placement.
Piezo Surgery
Gain experience of piezo surgical techniques in maxillary and mid-face resection and in conjunction with zygomatic implant placement.
Reconstruction Planning
Understand when bony reconstruction is required following maxillectomy and when soft tissue reconstruction will suffice.
Hands-On ZIP Flap
Hands-on experience in the rationale behind the ZIP Flap technique in rapid fixed dental rehabilitation following low level maxillectomy.
Clinical Outcomes
Understand the survival rates of zygomatic implants when placed both at primary cancer surgery and in the secondary setting.
