7 Clinically Relevant Reasons to Attend Full Spectrum Zygomatic and Pterygoid Implant Therapy DeMystified

Listen to Several Course Attendees Relate How Taking This Course Will Positively Impact You, Your Patients and Practice.

 

"I have practiced OMS for 43 years.  I did my first zygoma implant in 2008, and maybe 30 since then.  I never felt comfortable with the procedure but this training was different.  I feel much more confident in performing this procedure safely and deliver a great result.  Drill Responsibly™!"

– Dr. David Mulherin, OMS – Conroe, TX

 

"This is by far one of the best if not “the best” CE course I have attended during my oral surgery career.  From the presentations, facilities, hospitality, Dr. Pikos and his team made this a great learning experience.  Dr. Pikos is not only a great surgeon and teacher but also a fantastic host."

– Dr. Don Kalant, OMS – Naperville, IL

 

"I have taken the Neodent Zygo course in Curitiba, Brazil. I left the course with doubts & “FEAR” because the live surgery caused injury to one of the patients. Dr. Pikos wiped away all doubts & Fear I had. From the didactic portion to the video presentations and finally cadaver surgery- all aspects of the course were at top notch. I have the confidence & knowledge to offer single Zygo & pterygoids to my patients."

- Dr. Paraon N. DeQuiroz, GP – Templeton, CA
