Stop looking for another Zygo course
Stop looking for another Zygo course. This is the first and last one you will ever take. Over 4 days you will be given all the information about the anterior/posterior zygo approach, the reasons why you would use channels over tunnels, and how to thread the balance of achieving a long term functioning zygo without the tissue dehesience or sinus complications. They will go through all the complications and ways to minimize and or eliminate them. Many of the participants at the NY2026 course had done this course a number of times previously due to the amount of gold nuggets of information that get dropped at the course. And I will be too.
If you want to play in the world of zygos this is the door/course you must pass through on your journey. You will never look back.
Best regards

Building Confidence in Zygomatic Implant Surgery
Although I have been performing a wide range of oral surgical procedures for many years, zygomatic implants have always been one of those treatments that I was somewhat hesitant about and never felt completely comfortable performing.
For me, this course was particularly valuable in that respect. I had many questions in my mind about zygomatic implant treatment, and during the course, I had the opportunity to find the answers I was really looking for. It was also extremely valuable to learn not only from the experience of the instructors, but also from the colleagues attending the course, and to share our own experiences with each other.
By the end of the course, I can definitely say that my perspective and approach to zygomatic implants had changed significantly. For any colleague who wants to incorporate this treatment into their practice but, like me, still has some questions or concerns, I truly believe that attending this course is a very worthwhile investment.

A Lasting Impression
Some experiences stay with you.
My time at the ZAGA Center in Barcelona was one of them — an inspiring journey into zygomatic and pterygoid implantology, surrounded by exceptional knowledge, generosity and genuine passion for what we do.
Beyond the techniques and the clinical excellence, it was the people, the conversations and the shared pursuit of better dentistry that made this course truly special.
A privilege to learn, to connect and to be inspired.

World-Class Education in Zygomatic Implantology
The ZAGA Cadaver Course exceeded my expectations. The organization was excellent, the scientific content was highly valuable, and the hands-on training was outstanding. I especially appreciated the opportunity to learn directly from experienced ZAGA experts and to exchange knowledge with colleagues from different countries. The atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and inspiring. I highly recommend this course to any implant surgeon who wants to improve their skills in advanced zygomatic implantology.

Excellent course
This is an excellent course that has been carefully and intelligently structured. It provides outstanding clinical tools together with a comprehensive theoretical background. The extensive hands-on training on models during the course, combined with the final clinical experience, enabled me to develop the skills, confidence, and capability to begin performing zygomatic implant procedures immediately upon completion of the program.

My experience at the cadaver course in…
My experience at the cadaver course in New York was fantastic. The lectures, model practice, and cadaver work were all well-coordinated and well-prepared. I would recommend it to any doctor looking to improve their skills. The venue is also conveniently located near the new Trump Tower, Tiffany & Co., and Louis Vuitton buildings.

A highly intensive, carefully structured, and exceptionally comprehensive course
A highly intensive, carefully structured, and exceptionally comprehensive course that thoroughly covers all the key aspects of the subject. It stands out not only for the quality of its content, but also for its practical approach.
Additionally, active participation is strongly encouraged, with dedicated time for addressing questions, exchanging ideas, and discussing real clinical cases—greatly enhancing the learning experience and helping to consolidate the knowledge acquired.

All the information l was expecting and…MORE
All the information l was expecting and even more. Prof. Aparicio shared all his tips and tricks with us. We had difficult cases to perform the Quad Zygoma which helped me understand the technique extremely well

Responsible, exceptional course
This is an exceptional course, full of evidence base and a very responsible and respectful way of placing zygomatic implants. A lot of thought and explanation is put into controlling the osteotomy, choosing the prosthetic platform site and balancing between possible long-term complications: rhinosinusitis and mucositis, which are necessary to balance between in these cases. Highly recommended!

The ZAGA Concept
ZAGA stands for Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach. It sorts the maxillary wall into ZAGA Types 0 to 4 and lets that anatomy decide where the implant goes and which implant geometry to use. Dr. Carlos Aparicio first described it in 2011. Surgeons in the network have tested it in peer-reviewed studies since then; these are the most recent.
