2-DAY HANDS-ON CADAVER AND LIVE PATIENT COURSE: “PFAST: PTERYGOID FIXATED ARCH STABILIZING TECHNIQUE”.

Although they have been in use for over 50 years, Pterygoid implants are one of the least understood styles of dental implant treatment. This may be due to the fact that pterygoid implants are widely considered to be
one of the most difficult fixtures to place in all implant dentistry. This 2-day course will provide knowledge and guidance for incorporating this style of treatment into your full arch dental implant practice. After
didactic learning about pterygoid implants, course participants will receive hands-on guidance for the placement of pterygoid and zygomatic implants on both models and cadavers.
