info_outlineIn this episode of Straumann ProTalk Clinical, host Christian Jarry interviews Professor Carlos Aparicio, a pioneer in the field of zygomatic implants. The discussion centers on the importance of adapting dental techniques to individual patient anatomy rather than a rigid 'one size fits all' approach. They address common complications in rigid techniques, such as soft tissue issues and sinus infections. Aparicio explains the ZAGA philosophy, which tailors the entire implant procedure, including incision and flap adaptation, to the patient's unique anatomy. They discussed the shift towards more patient-centric approaches in implant dentistry and the evolution of zygomatic implant techniques. Aparicio emphasizes the importance of diagnostic tools over guided systems due to anatomical variability. The episode also reflects on past experiences and future advancements in zygomatic therapies, highlighting the role of continuous learning and adaptation.
