Zygomatic is for experienced implant surgeons. Full-Arch suits dentists already placing single implants with confidence. **Which course should I pick?** If your patients have severe bone loss in the upper jaw, pick Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants. If you want to treat terminal dentitions with same-day teeth, pick Full-Arch with Immediate Load & Pterygoid Implants. **Do the courses count towards ADI, ITI or CGDent mentoring?** The courses meet their mentoring requirements. **Will I really operate on patients?** Yes. Days 3 to 6 are live surgery, morning and afternoon. You place implants yourself with Dr Zakir or Dr Salvoni guiding you. **How many delegates are on each course?** Numbers are kept small to ensure close supervision and no waiting around. **Who are the patients?** Carefully triaged patients for relevant cases. **What do I get at the end?** A certificate presented at the final dinner, plus verifiable CPD. Clinical photos of all your cases treated by you for your log book. **What’s included in the fee?** Your hotel (4-star, breakfast included), transfers, dinners and all teaching. **Where will I stay?** At Tsue The Palace Flat in Moema, São Paulo: a 4-star hotel with breakfast included, a pool, sauna and gym, 2 km from Congonhas Airport. See the hotel **How do I pay?** A £3,500 deposit secures your place, with the balance due 8 weeks before the course start date. You can pay with the online link or by BACS. **Can I bring a partner?** Unfortunately no. As the course is very intense and numbers are small, we can’t accommodate guests, nurses or observers – only course participants. ## Contact and applying - Apply for a place: https://zygomaticandfullarchtraining.com/apply/ (one of the faculty calls back within two working days; no payment is taken online) - Book a 15-minute call: https://zygomaticandfullarchtraining.com/book-a-call/ - Phone: +44 7500 465125 - Address: 154 Flixton Road, Urmston, Manchester, M41 5BG ## Pages - [Zygomatic, Pterygoid & Full-Arch Implant Courses for Dentists](https://zygomaticandfullarchtraining.com/courses/): Compare our two live patient implant courses in São Paulo: Zygomatic & Pterygoid Implants, and Full-Arch with Immediate Load & Pterygoid Implants.
