Course Description

This lecture and hands-on program will introduce participants to specific procedures for augmentation of the maxillary sinus including direct and indirect sinus lifts. Lecture topics for this course will include patient selection, radiographic evaluation, treatment planning, graft material selection, surgical techniques for indirect and direct sinus augmentation procedures and potential complications. Surgical videos and patient presentations will be used to demonstrate the clinical techniques. The hands-on session will utilize models and fresh cadaver specimens that will give the participant the closest possible experience to live surgery.
