Latest / Straumann® ProTalk / Clinical Edition: Inside the ZAGA clinical approach with Dr. Carlos Aparicio (video version)
Transcript
- 0:00Carlos: Instead of trying to adapt the patient to our technique, we should adapt
- 0:05the technique to the patient's anatomy.
- 0:07Christian: What are the most common risks and complications that you
- 0:10see if you stick to this very rigid one size fits all, for example.
- 0:14Carlos: Complications related with soft tissues, which means soft tissue
- 0:19recession, soft tissue infection, and the second one is related with sinus.
- 0:25So sinusitis, rhinosinusitis on possible oro-antral communication.
- 0:31What we like to teach is not how to treat those complications, but how
- 0:39we may prevent those complications.
- 0:45Christian: Welcome to Straumann ProTalk Clinical, where vision, skill, and science
- 0:49converge to disseminate knowledge and shape the future of implant dentistry.
- 0:54Today we're diving into the evolution of zygomatic implants and how each
- 0:59time more individual characteristics matter so much more than the
- 1:04rigid one size fits all approach.
- 1:08Today I'm joined by a true pioneer whose name is a synonymous of zygomatic
- 1:13implants and true passion for education.
- 1:17Professor Carlos Aparicio, thanks for coming to Straumann ProTalk Clinical.
- 1:21Carlos: Thank you, Chris.
- 1:22Thank you, Chris.
- 1:23It's really an honor to be here.
- 1:25Thank you.
- 1:26Christian: I will start by setting the foundation we often hear that zygomatic
- 1:32implants is often the last results.
- 1:36How is the role of zygomatic implants and therapy in a full large context
- 1:40in today's modern implantology?
- 1:46Carlos: Thank you for the question because I think it's a very relevant one.
- 1:50The placement of the zygomatic implants must follow a true indication.
- 1:56The indication is atrophic maxilla.
- 2:00This atrophic maxilla.
- 2:03The origin of this atrophy could be the loosening of a tooth because of
- 2:10infections, and also could be the failure of previous treatments like
- 2:15implant treatment or graft procedures.
- 2:20So previous, considering the placement of a zygomatic implants, we must consider
- 2:27the placement of a regular implant.
- 2:31Of course now it is very common to tilt implants.
- 2:36In order to find some bone where it is.
- 2:40So this is why we say that you may place a regular implant.
- 2:45Please try first, a regular implant in such a way we are
- 2:51keeping this tool as a last resort.
- 2:54That's the meaning of the last resort.
- 2:58Christian: And how does the ZAGA philosophy help differ from
- 3:02traditional implant placement in the zygomatic indication?
- 3:10Carlos: Allow me to tell you a short story.
- 3:12Christian: Please do.
- 3:14Carlos: I learned a zygomatic implants well, as you know, the idea of zygomatic
- 3:20implants comes from Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, but he didn't like too much to
- 3:25teach himself in order to really, to teach how to he delegate into Chantal Malevez,
- 3:36a nice and good preferred surgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, that on top of
- 3:42this, she does per prosthetics too.
- 3:47At the very beginning we learned a receipt that was an universal receiver.
- 3:53As you said, one size fits all, one size fits all.
- 3:58That's a perfect definition.
- 4:00So we tried to maize this receipt.
- 4:05So we were following during the first years following perfectly what we learn.
- 4:12Try not to get apart from these teachings.
- 4:16But we observe that we got some complications from
- 4:21the original receipt, and
- 4:27I guess that about 85% of the first surgeonss receiving
- 4:31this knowledge gave up.
- 4:35Why?
- 4:36Because of the original complications.
- 4:38They frustrated.
- 4:39They frustrated.
- 4:40Totally frustrated though they were, we were surgeons placing on the
- 4:46selection of the first surgeons.
- 4:48We were surgeons placing more than 2000 regular implants a year, so I
- 4:54think we can call us per surgeons.
- 4:59What happened is that after a while, I realized a very simple, a very
- 5:06simple thing, and that simple thing is that you and me, we are different.
- 5:12And we are different for him or for her also.
- 5:16So there are differences between human beings and still there are even more
- 5:23differences between atrophic marilla because those atrophic marilla,
- 5:28the original of this atrophy, as I said before, is very variable.
- 5:34Can come from just for the tooth loosening, but usually they come from
- 5:39previous treatment failures, like implant failures of reacting procedures.
- 5:43So at the end, there is no regular anatomy.
- 5:49So finally, I understood that instead of trying to adapt the technique.
- 5:55Sorry.
- 5:56Vice versa.
- 5:57Instead of trying to adapt the patient to our technique, we should adapt the
- 6:02technique to the patient's anatomy.
- 6:04And that was the fundamental of ZAGA.
- 6:07And after this, we understood that this is not only the technique of the implant.
- 6:14Placement is about adapting the incision, adapting the flap, adapting.
- 6:22The whole procedure to the patient's anatomy, even the
- 6:27implant itself should be adopted?
- 6:29No, if for regular implantology, we have like hundreds of implant designs.
- 6:40At that time, we just had one design for a very much complex anatomy.
- 6:46Can you imagine we have to go through an alveolar bone that many
- 6:50times there is no alveolar bone, just few remains of velar bone.
- 6:55Then we have to go to proceed to the maxillary wall.
- 6:59How many shapes has or may have?
- 7:02The maxillary wall even is concave, convex, thin, thick.
- 7:08And then finally we should anchor on the zygomatic bone.
- 7:12So we have to go through many different anatomies and have
- 7:16only one type one implant design.
- 7:18That was not logical.
- 7:20Exactly.
- 7:20Not logical.
- 7:21So this is the origin of ZAGA trying to adapt the whole
- 7:25procedure to the patient anatomy.
- 7:27Christian: I like this very much because all of us who are passionate
- 7:30about implant dentistry and have followed zygomatic therapies for a
- 7:34while, we have seen the evolution extra maxillary through the sinus outside
- 7:41the sinus in many configurations.
- 7:44And always been with a sense of too risky.
- 7:49But now we see how you have adapted and evolved putting the
- 7:53patient in the center always.
- 7:55Not putting the technique in the center and the patient is just
- 7:59something that is sitting there.
- 8:01And for doctors there are.
- 8:04Still hesitant to be very patient centric to adapt to the techniques.
- 8:09What are the most common risks and complications that you see
- 8:12if you stick to this very rigid one size fits all, for example?
- 8:19Carlos: Of course we divide the complications into
- 8:24intrasurgical complications or.
- 8:27Maybe early complications and late complications.
- 8:31I don't think it is necessary to talk too much about intrasurgical complications
- 8:36like orbit invasion or, because I guess that every surgeon has skills enough
- 8:42to escape from those complications.
- 8:45But the hiding complication to me is the one that is going to appear to show up.
- 8:53In the future, not tomorrow, not in one month, but in six months in one year.
- 9:00And those complications mainly are two.
- 9:05There is a complication related with soft tissues, which means soft tissue
- 9:11recession, soft tissue infection, and the second one is related with sinus.
- 9:18So sinusitis, rhinosinusitis on possible oraloro-antral
- 9:23communication communication.
- 9:25Those are the two late complications that we are afraid
- 9:33what we like to teach is not how to treat those complications, but how
- 9:41we may prevent those complications.
- 9:44Because in this patient.
- 9:47There's always what I call the risk balance.
- 9:51Whenever you like to escape from the soft tissue complication, you
- 9:55are inclining the balance for the rhinosinusitis and vice versa.
- 9:59Whenever you try to escape from rhinosinusitis , you are
- 10:03knocking the door for the soft tissue complication infection.
- 10:07So it's about knowing which resources you have to.
- 10:14Deal with this so much atrophic maxilla for this patient that
- 10:18has no bone on the maxilla.
- 10:20And with this implant placement that is forced to be sometimes in an aerial
- 10:27path and how we are going to prevent the complication of soft tissue
- 10:34recession or infection of the sinus.
- 10:38So this is the trick.
- 10:42Christian: And you cover now the compo, the potential complications
- 10:45surgically wise, and we have this patient that has been restored.
- 10:50What are the most common technical complications that come restoratively
- 10:54wise over the period of time in terms of anterior posterior spread?
- 10:58How do you consider this and how this affect the prosthesis afterwards?
- 11:10Carlos: Media
- 11:13make the trends of of the life and also in dentistry, they make trends.
- 11:22I can't say that we were the very beginning of zygomatic implants.
- 11:29We were told to place some, a few regular implants on the front.
- 11:33I either,
- 11:36on the pristine bone or using a gratin procedure too, plus
- 11:41two posterior psycho implant.
- 11:43This was the original teaching of pi er after a few years, we
- 11:49started with a quad procedure, which means that it is a quadruple
- 11:53placement of zygomatic implants.
- 11:56Two zygomatic implants on the right, two zygomatic implants on the left.
- 12:01The ideal spread of those implants anterior posterior spread.
- 12:05It's about placing the anterior implant of the position of the lateral incisor.
- 12:12And the posterior on the position average on the posterior, on the position of
- 12:18the second premolar, first molar distal.
- 12:22Second premolar missile first molar.
- 12:26This is a position we would like to have it a little bit more posterior, but
- 12:30usually mouth opening lower than tissue.
- 12:34Long instruments are going to limit this position better.
- 12:40The good thing is that you are able to place an implant on the
- 12:44position of the lateral incisor.
- 12:47And a second implant of the position of the second premolar, first molar.
- 12:52The AP distribution is enough to have a regular, at least
- 12:59first molar to first molar.
- 13:00So 12 teeth without any problem.
- 13:05And this is not going to give you any.
- 13:08Problems.
- 13:09And on the on, on the prosthesis, I started answering your question
- 13:15about the tendency of social media, because placement of two
- 13:21matic in implant is not easy.
- 13:23It requires some skills.
- 13:25So now it's like the tendency of either placing those two implants in
- 13:33a very parallel position, which is easier, but then you are creating a.
- 13:38Lung can deliver anterior or missial, and that can deliver posterior, so then
- 13:43you need some BL regular blash there and tego in implant on the posterior.
- 13:50So either this procedure or.
- 13:53Placing just one psycho implant and then you have to go for a rogate implant or an
- 14:01implant on the nose, which is not which has no long-term proven long-term results.
- 14:08So those are the tendencies today.
- 14:13There's a of a give and
- 14:13Christian: taking to both possibilities.
- 14:15So you don't see many prosthetic complications, no fractures
- 14:19or anything like that?
- 14:20No.
- 14:21Similar to any other full-arch therapy.
- 14:23Exactly.
- 14:23Technically speaking, restorations should be safe ex Exactly.
- 14:27Carlos: So at the end, if you are able to get a good implant,
- 14:32stability for sure, and a good ap anterior, posterior spread.
- 14:40Then the final result is gonna be very similar, especially if you
- 14:45follow the ZAGA philosophy of trying.
- 14:51You must know what is your goal when performing an
- 14:55osteotomy for implant placement.
- 14:57And the goal in this case is first to achieve maximum primary stability
- 15:03of an prosthetically driven implant.
- 15:06So we want our implant platform to be either on the crest or very
- 15:11close to the center of the crest.
- 15:14So the prosthesis, the final prosthesis is gonna be very
- 15:17similar to a regular rehabilitation.
- 15:20Christian: And just to wrap this, because we often see.
- 15:23Especially because of the length of the implant, right?
- 15:27There is a, there's a pre assumption.
- 15:29There will be some movement potentially.
- 15:33Will this affect the restorative scheme?
- 15:35How does that
- 15:36Carlos: work?
- 15:36That's very interesting question.
- 15:43The first answer we published together with Professor Thomas aum a paper that is
- 15:51called All Criteria in order to establish which criteria we should use to determine.
- 15:58The success of failure of a zygomatic implant.
- 16:02One of those or criteria is the, or is the acronym moon of
- 16:08offset renal cities infection
- 16:15renal cell status and stability.
- 16:18So stability one matic implant.
- 16:21As you say, you can find a little movement.
- 16:24Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, and this little
- 16:28movement may arise from either
- 16:35the destruction of the total destruction of the alveolar bone.
- 16:39So meaning that the implant is the implant.
- 16:42I call it occipital part.
- 16:44This part of the implant is not supported either by alveolar bone or.
- 16:50Palatal bone.
- 16:51So the implant has only the anchorage.
- 16:54Okay, on the Zygoma.
- 16:55And so the implant is like this.
- 16:58They are in my zygoma.
- 16:59And then because there is no support here, yep, you can bend it, there's an arm.
- 17:03So you're creating a very long arm.
- 17:07So the now you can get some little movement.
- 17:10So the principle for the cyma is, please don't destroy the LAR bone.
- 17:15Be conservative, which is what we call ZAGA, minimally invasive osteotomy.
- 17:21So you have to place the implant platform, the implant posterior part
- 17:28of the platform, supported edit by a bone or by palatal bone in the case.
- 17:37But say that
- 17:40we are totally against of those philosophies that say.
- 17:45Yeah, your first axion should be destroy the LAR bone I see.
- 17:50And then get Anchorage up there wherever you can anchor.
- 17:53This is if the problem of this patient is maxillary atrophy, why should I increase
- 18:00the problem of the patient by destroying?
- 18:04And necessarily destroy more.
- 18:07And this applies also to this window osteotomy that we, I was talked to
- 18:15perform this window osteomy, but we must understand that when Professor Broer
- 18:22had the brilliant idea of this treat.
- 18:25At that time, he had no ERs diagnostic.
- 18:28So the, they have no CVCT, they have ct, but with a very very humble.
- 18:40So managing the ct, they have no 3D models.
- 18:44So the tools they had.
- 18:47For diagnosis.
- 18:48They were very limited.
- 18:50So he said, okay, let's stay on the same side.
- 18:53Let's make a hole first in order to see my dream.
- 18:57But today this is an emotional osteotomy.
- 18:59Yeah, emotional.
- 19:00We don't need to destroy bone.
- 19:03And the same saying with locked technique, they make an slot previous to the
- 19:08so and slot osteomy previous to the osteotomy necessary to place the implant.
- 19:14So why?
- 19:15Two osteotomies for one implant placement.
- 19:18There is no sense.
- 19:19Imagine we are placing a regular implant.
- 19:22What is our goal?
- 19:24Our goal is to under prepare.
- 19:26Yeah, in order to achieve maximum primary stability.
- 19:29So what is the meaning of destroying bone, especially in a patient
- 19:33suffering for axillary atrophy?
- 19:35There is no meaning.
- 19:36Christian: Yeah,
- 19:37Carlos: no meaning.
- 19:40Christian: Thanks for clarifying.
- 19:41So in your point of view now, giving a recap primarily we should aim of course
- 19:47for the anchorage, but to have the coronal part of deep, supported this
- 19:52will potentially minimize any arm force stabilizing the prosthesis minimizing
- 19:58technical complications over the time.
- 20:00Exactly.
- 20:01Exactly.
- 20:01Did I get that right?
- 20:02Carlos: That's the full idea.
- 20:04We are.
- 20:05Now we have a new paper that will hopefully will appear in soon.
- 20:12Let's call soon.
- 20:13It's in the process of review, but it's accepted where we are demonstrating
- 20:19how is a fin element analysis study.
- 20:25And we are, we are working with two models
- 20:33one representing what we call the ZAGA three situation, which
- 20:37is about the 20% of the cases.
- 20:40And the second model represents a ZAGA four situation, so maximum atrophy, which
- 20:46represents about 60% of the population.
- 20:49So this is about, altogether they represent 80% of the atrophy Marcilla.
- 20:56Posterior atrophy, ma. And then we are applying three techniques to each model.
- 21:03The oversight of osteotomy.
- 21:06The atomy that is not achieving support on this posterior part.
- 21:11So only anchor anchorage up there.
- 21:13The original surgical technique following the PI protocol and
- 21:20the SGA protocol adapting the.
- 21:22And the osteomy to the patient anatomy.
- 21:25So we've been able to see that when following, of course, with the extra
- 21:31macary techniques, it's not necessary to add too much because it's it's
- 21:36a very dangerous, it is very common that this big level arm ends up.
- 21:44With a implant fat fatigue fracture.
- 21:46But then when following the original surgical technique and at the same time
- 21:53dealing with the most atrophic maxillas, the end result is that the part of
- 22:01the al elbow bone that is supporting.
- 22:04Or contracting.
- 22:05This long level arm is very thin because the atrophy is big.
- 22:11So it's about one or two millimeters of bone supporting the atory load.
- 22:16Yeah.
- 22:17What happened today?
- 22:19Nothing.
- 22:20Two more.
- 22:20Nothing.
- 22:21But in one year, two years.
- 22:23This is more about a bone is, has a concentration of
- 22:28atory load and at the end.
- 22:31It will be resolved.
- 22:32And after this, what is going to happen after this?
- 22:37It comes the oral anal communication, the infection of the sinus, which
- 22:41was about 26% of the cases of Pi er.
- 22:45Wow.
- 22:45As he reported.
- 22:46Yeah.
- 22:47Yeah.
- 22:48This is the percentage of the original PI RMR paper.
- 22:53Christian: That's a perfect segue to our next topic because we have a
- 22:57section called, it's not what we think.
- 23:00It's what we know.
- 23:01Yes.
- 23:02Evidence matters.
- 23:03Correct.
- 23:03And I asked you.
- 23:05To highlight one article that it was impactful for you in your
- 23:09career that either opened your eyes or helped you pave and shape
- 23:15your career towards this direction.
- 23:18And you shared with me the article Reconstruction of the Premaxilla with
- 23:22autogenous iliac bone in combination with the osteo integrated implants
- 23:27in collaboration with Dr. Oli.
- 23:29Killer, but also the one and only Professor Brandmark.
- 23:33It must be quite an experience.
- 23:34I would like you to share what was it like to work with Professor
- 23:38Brandmark and how and why this paper is so meaningful to you.
- 23:43This
- 23:44Carlos: is a paper reflecting the my, our first collaboration with Professor Piar.
- 23:50And this is the history of gentleman, 18 years old man that suffer
- 23:59surgery and orna surgery.
- 24:01So the ortho alternate Orna surgery failed.
- 24:05And this was 80, 87 around, so the late eighties we started with
- 24:13regular implants on the, in 84.
- 24:18And open an office exclusively devoted to regular implants in 85, which is where
- 24:24we were like crazy guys at that time.
- 24:27Crazy guys.
- 24:28So no dentist in Spain knew about the modern implant dentistry.
- 24:34We were waiting for referrals patient, but was like a crazy thing.
- 24:39But I dunno how this gentleman.
- 24:42Came.
- 24:43So the result of this orthotic surgery was he lose the whole pre.
- 24:49For promoter two promoter, he got on 15 millimeters, communication, nose, mouth.
- 24:57Wow.
- 24:58So it was like a disaster.
- 24:59A disaster.
- 25:00All of
- 25:00Christian: out of
- 25:01Carlos: an orthotic surgery.
- 25:02All because failed alternative surgery.
- 25:05So it looks like the surgeon made a maxillectomy and then he
- 25:11tried to, lowered the maxilla.
- 25:14Yeah.
- 25:14And then the va, he lost the vascularity.
- 25:18Wow.
- 25:18And then got an necrosis.
- 25:20How sad.
- 25:21So Inacio, came to us and then we were like, woo.
- 25:28So it was and then we called Per-Ingvar Brånemark and he said,
- 25:33okay come here, come to Gutenburg.
- 25:35We said, Ooh.
- 25:36He seems to be very sure.
- 25:40But yeah, we were able to.
- 25:42Arrange the paperwork for Inacio and social Security
- 25:47pay for I nephew to go there.
- 25:49P er didn't charge anything.
- 25:52And he himself, he made two implants, long implants with a machine
- 25:56he used to have in the office.
- 25:59He turned the two implants and nothing was also double lucky because at that
- 26:05time, that, at that time was, the, he was the dean of the maxillofacial
- 26:13department at the at the Mayo Clinic, Eugune was spending a sebbatic year
- 26:22in order to learn regular implants.
- 26:26I'm going to repeat it because so the big boss of the maxillofacial
- 26:31department of the Mayo Clinic, Minnesota is spending one sabbatic year in
- 26:36order to place a regular implant.
- 26:38Not zygomatic implant.
- 26:39No.
- 26:39A regular implant.
- 26:40It's the opposite.
- 26:41It is like the opposite of today.
- 26:46But yeah, the thing is that Eugune Keller was able to close their,
- 26:50the communication nose, her mouth, Per-Ingvar Brånemark er got a hip
- 26:58graft and he secured the graft with those two implants, two long implants.
- 27:06So after this and then we finally, we place we perform the rehabilitation
- 27:14finally in Barcelona to these men.
- 27:18And the lessons I learned.
- 27:21Now, today, maybe you are going to smile, but the first lesson I learned is that
- 27:27no matter if you place an implant in a non perpendicular direction to the
- 27:33occlusal plane, no matter if you place an implant in a tilt direction, it may work.
- 27:39That was the first thing.
- 27:40No, we were amazing.
- 27:41So the are not like this are like this.
- 27:45Oh.
- 27:46And they are working.
- 27:47Yeah, incredible because at that time there were instruments in order to place
- 27:54implants totally parallel, perpendicular to the occlusal plane like this.
- 27:58That was out of the box.
- 28:01And the second thing is that there was the possibility to anchor, to remotely anchor
- 28:07and implant and still working there.
- 28:09So those were the two lessons I learned from this.
- 28:13Patient that really changed my career, totally changed my career.
- 28:18Christian: And this is what sparked this fire to remote encouraging Exactly.
- 28:22Dedication in throughout your career.
- 28:25Carlos: I will say that first we started inclining implants.
- 28:30That was the first step because everything is.
- 28:33It is not like America, a light like this.
- 28:35It's an evolution.
- 28:37So first we started inclining implants and developing like a 3D inside of my head.
- 28:45No, A 3D vision inside.
- 28:47So I'm climbing the simple implant like this, and I will
- 28:50get anchored behind the canine.
- 28:53For instance, I'm going to escape from a sinus grafting.
- 28:57So that was the starting.
- 28:58And we prepare, we, we like.
- 29:02Without knowing, we were preparing for the psycho implants.
- 29:06And finally the psycho implants in a regular manner came in 98.
- 29:10In 90, but during this time, we publish on tilted implants.
- 29:15So it's as a preparation.
- 29:16As an evolution.
- 29:17Yeah.
- 29:17And,
- 29:17Christian: and to everybody who's interested in this paper, we're gonna
- 29:20leave the link to PubMed where this paper is published, available to everybody
- 29:25just to click and go through and see.
- 29:28This amazing paper from 1993 from Professor Carlos, Carlos
- 29:34Aparicio, and Professor Bre.
- 29:36Mark, of course, with collaborators.
- 29:39We have another section, as you said, the experience and things that you faced.
- 29:45That is called experience taught.
- 29:48This.
- 29:51Of course we cannot be too critical in ourselves because the knowledge
- 29:55base we had a few years back is not the same as we had there.
- 29:58So in our heads, those were the right decisions for the right moment.
- 30:04But in retrospect, knowing what you know now, is there any case that pops
- 30:08through your head that you say, oh.
- 30:12Time is the best educator.
- 30:13I wish I knew back then what I knew now, and I would've come
- 30:17differently to that patient.
- 30:22Carlos: I, I think I cannot tell you one specific case about a part of
- 30:26the one we has just comment that he really changed my perception because
- 30:31it's been, again, an evolution.
- 30:33Yeah.
- 30:34So then you try to.
- 30:37To follow the original receipt.
- 30:40You follow?
- 30:40I don't want to change anything.
- 30:42I want to maize what I learned, but you get a problem.
- 30:47And then the good point is that and I'm very proud of that in my office.
- 30:57I had the rule and the rule was, whenever you have a problem, take a picture.
- 31:04Take a picture now, don't fix it.
- 31:06Take a picture.
- 31:07And then you have the opportunity to think about the problem.
- 31:11So the idea behind this is about
- 31:17this is a new technique.
- 31:18Not anymore, but at that time there was a new technique nobody is teaching me.
- 31:24So we should learn about our experience and we should separate.
- 31:29Topic by topic, we cannot put all together and try to get, no,
- 31:35we have this problem, so let's analyze why, what is the theology?
- 31:41And then you take one thing and then maybe you can vary just one
- 31:46thing and wait and see the results.
- 31:50Wait and you see the result.
- 31:52But yes.
- 31:54One time as one thing at a time, not a EU body, like two or three things.
- 32:01You cannot deduct from where the problem or from where the solution right arises.
- 32:09Christian: Yeah, sometimes we cannot remember every single patient,
- 32:12but we can tell how your head was thinking at certain periods.
- 32:17And with the evolution now, things completely different.
- 32:20Yeah.
- 32:21Carlos: Yeah.
- 32:21The thing is that the, at the beginning you get a problem and then you don't
- 32:24know why, and then you think, oh.
- 32:26Shit, probably.
- 32:29And then I the, the normal human being is then, so you try to look
- 32:36to the other side, you go, yeah, but I like to go back, right?
- 32:40To go back and to think oh, that's, and this is when you bring.
- 32:46The problem to the weekend?
- 32:48Yeah.
- 32:48Or, and then your head is thinking, thinking, and at the end, maybe
- 32:54you get the solution or not.
- 32:57We
- 33:00in our office we have a protocol.
- 33:03And the protocol, one of the protocols we have is that one person
- 33:08was collecting all the emergencies happening in the, and what was the
- 33:15treatment and what was the origin?
- 33:17And then we were reviewing all the month emergencies.
- 33:20One day was reviewing emergencies, so what was the emergency?
- 33:26What happened, what was the treatment?
- 33:29Who did it and which department?
- 33:32And then there was like a discussion about the emergency.
- 33:36Can we do something for the next thing?
- 33:38Cannot.
- 33:40So it is the way you have to learn, you have to put some order in order to learn.
- 33:45Otherwise it's maybe you are inspired, you learn or maybe you
- 33:49are not inspired and you don't.
- 33:52Christian: And I like very much your rule in the office to take picture.
- 33:55Yeah.
- 33:56If you don't document, it becomes only a fisherman story.
- 34:00It's a something that maybe happened nobody can prove.
- 34:04So I like this learning mindset.
- 34:07I would like to shift gears a little bit more.
- 34:10If we look future orientation, we have quite an evolution in
- 34:15zygomatic treatment therapies.
- 34:17Now looking future oriented, how do you see the biggest shift will
- 34:23be it could be either in implement itself or how digital technologies,
- 34:28for example, helping us get from point A to point B or artificial
- 34:33intelligence may be helping you predict.
- 34:36Some pitfalls.
- 34:37How do you see this rapid digitalization and looking into
- 34:42the future of zygomatic therapies?
- 34:47Carlos: It's not easy to answer the question because we don't know.
- 34:51Yeah, that's the first thing.
- 34:53And the second reason is difficult is because the huge variability of
- 35:02anatomy you may found and usually.
- 35:06Those differences are arising from previous failures, as we just comment.
- 35:12Previous implant failures, previous ratin failures procedures.
- 35:18So this means that it is quite common to find, for instance, bone discontinuities
- 35:26that makes any guided solution like
- 35:33I will be very grateful if we are able to develop more diagnosis tools.
- 35:40Yes, diagnostic tools.
- 35:42So I'm so happy using the software to quantify.
- 35:47I'm so happy using 3D models to plan I to make a, like a rehearsal surgery.
- 35:56We have today, maybe we had commented, we have a amazing 3D models that we all
- 36:05we are fabricating in house, in inside a headquarters because this
- 36:08is a a very powerful tool, right?
- 36:12Maybe, aI can help us in diagnosis could be.
- 36:20I'm not very confident in guided systems.
- 36:24Why?
- 36:25Because this big variability of anatomical situations
- 36:33to me guided the surgeries.
- 36:37For, especially for talking about matic implants is maybe can be
- 36:42adequate for never are easy, but for, allow me to say more simple
- 36:51matic implant placement where you have some kind of bone or some.
- 36:56Little amount of bone.
- 36:57Yeah.
- 36:58Maybe for this you can use it as guided, but when it comes to situation, the very
- 37:03frequent situation where you almost don't have bone, or where you have this like
- 37:10paper sheet bone that you try to cut it and you find this sound, this horrible
- 37:15sound because it's not possible to cut this paper sheet, then it's, I think it's.
- 37:21I cannot see the utility of those guide disease.
- 37:24So in resume, I will be very grateful if we develop more diagnostic
- 37:30tools, more so words, things that make the surgeon more comfortable
- 37:37at the moment of the real surgery.
- 37:39Yeah,
- 37:40Christian: I like because your expectations are quite realistic.
- 37:43It's almost pretty much a present, huh?
- 37:45Oh, yes.
- 37:46Oh yes.
- 37:47Carlos: Thank you,
- 37:47Christian: Professor Aparicio.
- 37:49It was an honor to learn from you today.
- 37:52Thank you.
- 37:52Thank you very much for stopping by and participating in Straumann
- 37:56and ProTalk clinical with us, and to all of you interested to learn
- 38:01more about zygomatic therapies, the ZAGA concept, and throughout the
- 38:07whole ZAGA I would do that again.
- 38:11Philosophy?
- 38:11No, it was the ZAGA Centers.
- 38:16And to all of you interested to learn more about zygomatic therapies, the
- 38:20ZAGA concept, and all the ZAGA centers.
- 38:23Also learning with Professor Apio.
- 38:25Make sure you click on the link that will appear in the video description and
- 38:29you have access to this amazing network.
- 38:32Professor Aparicio.
- 38:33It was a pleasure to have you with us.
- 38:35It was
- 38:35Carlos: also my pleasure and I really thank you for the opportunity to share
- 38:40a little bit more about the ZAGAl philosophy, which I think is a very
- 38:46powerful tool, especially for these people that are desperate, that are facing the
- 38:53last opportunity to recover a fixed dium.
- 38:56This is really the last opportunity.
- 38:58There is only one shot.
- 39:00We have to be successful in this unique shot.
- 39:04So thank you.
- 39:05Thank you very
- 39:06Christian: much.
- 39:07Carlos: Thank
- 39:07Christian: you.
- 39:08And to all of you, remember if this content was valuable to you,
- 39:13make sure you like and you comment and you share to your friends.
- 39:17Sharing is caring.
