Course on Sinus augmentation
Course on Sinus augmentation
About the course
Many patients with an atrophic posterior maxilla request fixed prostheses. When the residual bone height is below 4 mm sinus lift procedures remain the most viable therapeutic options.
Sinus lifting techniques have evolved over the last 25 years to a point where sinus grafting surgery with is considered to be one of the most successful augmentation procedures performed today with high survival rate of implants placed in these grafts and their prostheses. By combining these xenografts, partially or completely with autogenous bone, clinicians can achieve predictable outcomes.

Course objectives
Participants will be able to learn:
• surgical anatomy finalized to the prevention of complications and optimization of results
• rationale for a correct pre-operative planning
• step-by-step surgical technique
• selection of grafting materials
• how to select and interpret more critically the scientific leterature
Clinical contents
• maxillary sinus anatomy
• sinus elevation techniques, from flap and antrostomy design to post-op management
• complication management and the importance of collaboration with ENTs
• alternatives to sinus elevation therapy, from pre-surgical planning to prosthetic restoration
The Hands-on experience
The hands-on experience will take you through the educational path and new state-of-the-art techniques for sinus augmentation.
Anatomic models designed on real cases will be utilized to give participants a comprehensive approach on lateral access window with both traditional rotary techniques and piezoelectric surgical techniques.
