In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Aaron Miller joins Dr. Kyle Hargis on-site in Little Rock to walk through a complex revision case that demanded surgical flexibility, decision-making under pressure, and newly developed skills.

What started as a standard full-arch plan evolved into a trans-sinus case with pterygoid placement, marking Dr. Hargis’s first time placing pterygoids under mentorship. Together, they break down the anatomy, challenges, and learning curve of navigating full-arch revisions when plans change mid-surgery.

Key Highlights 1️⃣ Adapting When Plans Change – How Dr. Hargis pivoted from the original plan and made confident decisions in real time. 2️⃣ First-Time Pterygoid Placement – Insights into Dr. Hargis’s surgical thought process and the anatomy-first approach that made it possible. 3️⃣ Real-World Learning – Why mentorship, repetition, and anatomical understanding are critical when tackling advanced surgical techniques.
