ZYGO # 6 | Zygoma Depth gauge ZYG 1060

The ZAGA technique (Zygoma Anatomy-Guided Approach acc. to Dr. Carlos Aparicio) is a surgical method for inserting zygomatic implants that takes the patient’s individual anatomy into account. The depth gauge plays a central role in this approach:

1. Measuring drilling depth: The depth gauge is used to check the depth of the prepared implant site. This is especially important when working in the zygomatic region, as this bone area is anatomically variable and difficult to assess in terms of depth. Accurate measurement helps prevent perforation of the cortical bone or injury to adjacent structures such as the nasal cavity.
2. Selecting implant length: Based on the measured depth, the surgeon can choose the correct length of the zygomatic implant. A scale from 30 mm to 60 mm is clearly engraved on the handle of the instrument.
3. Control: The integrated measuring scale, marked in 2.5 mm increments (e.g., 30, 32.5, 35 mm, etc.), enables standardized and quick assessment during surgery. Also available in the Zygoma Set 10100-85.
