HISTORA® is proud to announce a landmark strategic partnership with the ZAGA Network (Zygoma Alliance for Guided Approaches) and its patient-focused digital platform, Smile24h. This collaboration marks a major step forward in advanced dental data portability, connecting elite maxillofacial clinics, digital dental laboratories, and patients undergoing complex zygomatic and full-mouth rehabilitations.
By integrating our browser-native 3D visualization and secure sharing technology, HISTORA is set to become the digital foundation for the entire clinical and laboratory workflow of ZAGA Centers worldwide.
Transforming Advanced Implantology with Digital Portability
The ZAGA Network is the world’s leading exclusive group of elite dental surgeons specializing in zygomatic implants and treating patients with severe maxillary atrophy (extreme bone loss). Its patient-facing initiative, Smile24h, guides individuals suffering from severe bone loss to certified centers, providing them with life-changing fixed teeth in 24 hours through immediate loading protocols.
These highly complex treatments require absolute clinical precision, intense interdisciplinary collaboration, and seamless data exchange between the surgical team and the Smile24h digital lab.
With this agreement, HISTORA® becomes the official "smart layer" for data exchange. Surgeons at ZAGA Centers can now securely share 3D CBCT scans, STL surgical guides, and precise digital prosthetic models directly with the Smile24h laboratory. By eliminating fragmented communication channels like email, USBs, and unsecure file transfer services, HISTORA ensures 100% compliance with HIPAA and GDPR regulations while maintaining clinical traceability.
Empowering Patients with Their Own 3D Records
One of the most revolutionary aspects of this partnership is the direct impact on patient experience. Because zygomatic implant treatments are highly specialized, patients frequently travel across countries and cities to be treated by ZAGA-certified experts.
Through HISTORA®, patients receive their complete, structured clinical files directly on their mobile phones. Without installing any complex external software, they can:
- View their advanced 3D CBCT and radiographic records in a browser-native interface.
- Securely share their files with any dentist or specialist in the world if they require follow-up care back home.
- Keep a permanent, secure, and accessible record of their implant structures and treatment plans.
This level of transparency and portability is a first in the field of zygomatic implantology. It places the patient at the center of their own care pathway, reinforcing the prestige and patient-first ethos of both HISTORA and ZAGA Centers.
Speed, Clinical Traceability, and the "24-Hour" Standard
The hallmark of the Smile24h protocol is immediate loading—providing the patient with a fixed, functional prosthesis within 24 hours of surgery. This requires extraordinary coordination between the oral surgeon and the laboratory technician.
The integration of HISTORA® accelerates this process. From the moment the post-surgical scan is completed, the clinical data is immediately processed, structured, and transferred to the Smile24h laboratory with sub-millimeter precision. The technician can instantly review, plan, and initiate the milling of the immediate-load prosthesis, ensuring the 24-hour delivery standard is met with unmatched reliability.
"Our mission at HISTORA is to make complex medical and dental data secure, accessible, and truly useful," says Dr. Elena Lopez Alvar, Co-Founder and Oral Surgeon. "Our partnership with the ZAGA Network and Smile24h is the perfect demonstration of this. Together, we are eliminating administrative friction, protecting patient privacy, and helping elite surgeons deliver life-changing outcomes faster and more safely."
This strategic partnership will roll out across selected ZAGA Centers in Europe and North America starting this month, with a complete global rollout scheduled throughout 2026. If you are a ZAGA-certified clinic and want to enable HISTORA integration, please contact our support team.
