Course Details

INTERACTIVE LECTURE (1/2 Day)

A critical viewing of biological and clinical aspects of sinus elevation techniques including the key elements for implant success will be presented.

* Patient Selection and CT-Diagnosis
* Flap Management, sinus elevation techniques, and suturing methods
* Decision making and clinical protocol in osteotome versus Lateral window approach
* Bone Grafting layering protocol with autograft, Xenograft and barrier membrane
* New technology grafting protocol using rhBMP-2/INFUSE and bone fillers
* Choice of implant system for sinus cases and when to stage the sinus bone graft?
* Diagnosis of problems and management of sinus complications

HANDS-ON LABORATORY WITH GOAT MAXILLA MODEL (1/2 Day)

Participants will practice on fresh goat maxilla models, with the latest implant designs, microsurgical sinus hand instruments, osteotome instruments, bovine filler materials and resorbable membranes and rhBMP-2/INFUSE bone graft.

* Lateral window approach using bone-cutting instruments
* Internal sinus elevation using Osteotome techniques
* Bone graft layering technique with barrier membrane
* rhBMP-2/INFUSE bone graft and filler protocol
* Implant placement technique
* Extraction and sinus treatment
* Flap management and suturing methods

Each workstation is equipped with implant drill unit, dental implants, fresh goat maxilla model, sinus hand instruments, bone filler material, membrane, rhBMP-2 graft, suture materials and all disposable materials.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

* Learn to perform sinus elevation surgery predictably
* Identify the clinical and practical benefits of minimally invasive osteotome sinus elevation
* Learn the technique for performing highly predictable lateral window surgery
* Identify a biological protocol using graft materials for sinus elevation
* Learn how to prevent and treat complications
