2-Day Interactive Cadaver CoursePrecision and Stability with Pterygoid ImplantsFeaturing the POWER® ProtocolAdvanced Full Arch

This advanced two-day educational program provides clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical, surgical, and prosthetic principles essential for predictable full-arch rehabilitation of the maxilla.

Participants will explore the clinical rationale and technical execution of pterygoid-based anchorage as a means to enhance posterior support, expand the anterior–posterior (A–P) spread, and improve long-term prosthetic stability in complex maxillary cases.

Through a combination of didactic sessions, digital workflow demonstrations, and hands-on cadaveric training, attendees will gain the knowledge and confidence to incorporate pterygoid implants into their full-arch treatment protocols — minimizing grafting procedures while maximizing functional and esthetic outcomes.

The course will also integrate digital and analog conversion techniques, photogrammetry-based workflows, and step-by-step guidance on immediate and definitive restoration approaches.

NOTE: PARTICIPANTS SHOULD HAVE EXPERIENCE IN FULL ARCH MAXILLARY AND MANDIBULAR PROSTHESIS (SURGICALLY AND RESTORATIVE) THIS IS AN ADVANCED COURSE
