Overview

Bone resorption of the posterior maxilla after an upper molar or premolar is lost leads to maxillary sinus pneumatization and reduction in the volume of bone available for placement of dental implants. Various sinus lift techniques exist to graft extra bone into the maxillary sinus, so that more bone is available to support osseointegration for implant placement.

This clinical course will cover assessment, treatment planning, and surgical approaches to both vertical and lateral sinus augmentation for single implant placement.

The course will be delivered over the course of two full days through lectures as well as hands-on training sessions on models and pig head cadavers so you can practice sinus lifting and suturing techniques under expert supervision.

At the program’s conclusion, you will have the chance to observe a live sinus lift procedure by your instructor, who will be explaining all his surgical tips, tricks, and techniques in real time.
