Hands-on with Current Innovations in Sinus Augmentation: Anatomy and Treatment using Conventional, Vertical & Lateral Window Techniques
About This Event
This 1-day program includes lectures, live-surgery recorded videos and a hands-on workshop using study models to teach sinus lift grafting principles and techniques. Content covers evaluation of medical and dental suitability for sinus lift, when to refer to ENT, anatomical considerations, rationale for internal versus external sinus lifts, and demonstrations of conventional sinus lift and newer SCA/SLA methodologies. Participants will view clinical cases and surgical videos and perform internal and external sinus lift procedures on models. Course includes discussion of pharmacology, indications for simultaneous implant placement, and sequential treatment planning for predictable outcomes.
