MODULE 1 – THE BIG PROBLEM (Open Class - see above)

 

• Overview of the SkinGuide Concept

• The “Clinical Eye” Technique? Really? (Spoiler: anatomy lies. So do your eyes.)

• Internal vs. External Zygomatic Anatomy: An Inconvenient Truth

• The “Window” Technique – A rarely useful solution to an almost non-existent problem

• Practical demonstrations of planning errors

• Guided surgery for zygomatics? Possible? Yes. Reliable? Not always.

• Moving from Surgical Roulette to Sniper Precision

• Overview of the SkinGuide Concept – an alternative, simplified, and powerful guide

​

​

 

MODULE 2 – IDEAL POSITIONING OF THE ZYGOMATIC IMPLANT

 

• Defining the point of maximum anchorage in the body of the zygoma

• The implant’s relationship with the infra-temporal fossa

• Indications for tetracortical anchorage

• Safe limits of the infraorbital rim; flat/deep floor anatomy

• Ideal implant head position based on prosthetic reference, biomechanics, soft tissues, sinus risk, and apical anchorage volume

• Evaluating the risk of late soft tissue dehiscence and mitigation strategies

• Defining implant length based on bone insertion and prosthetic connection type

• Zygomatic implants position to avoid sinusitis

• Applying these concepts in step-by-step virtual planning

​

 

 

MODULE 3 – The Intelligence of Prototypes

 

• Prototypes: the surgical simulator you didn’t know you needed—but really do

• Freehand training prototype vs. smart prototype

• Smart Prototypes – Virtual Osteotomy – advantages and benefits

• Designing the prototype before sending it for 3D printing

• Anatomical markings in pre-surgical VPO (Virtually Operated Prototype) for implant sizing

• Anatomical markings in trans-surgical VPO for key landmarks

• Linear trajectories and intraoperative notes

• Double-checking with linear references

 

​

​

MODULE 4 – SKIN GUIDE: When the Best Path Is Already Traced in the Bone

 

• What is the SkinGuide?

• How it works and how to use it

• Depth reference and double-checking using the VPO (Virtually Operated Prototype)

• Biocompatible marker for bone drawing

• Virtually designing the SkinGuide

• Essential anatomical areas and areas to avoid (retentive zones, cavities, ridges)

• Software, concepts, common errors, and advanced tips for surgical use​

• In-house SkinGuide printing – precautions, resins, and best practices

• Disinfection/sterilization

​

 

MODULE 5 – Surgical Aspects

 

• Introduction – step-by-step technical execution (like a sniper)

• Anesthesia for the zygoma

• Incision design

• Marking with pencil – which one to use?

• Preparatory osteotomy - how to use the SkinGuide and SmartPrototype

• Perforation osteotomy - zygoma kit drills

• Membrane perforation vs. preservation

• SIN surgical kit

• Soft tissue dehiscence prevention
