Step-by-step sinus lift techniques. Prevention and management of sinus complications.
Hands-on practice across diverse clinical settings.
This popular two-day hands-on course, taught by Prof. Puria Parvini (Frankfurt University), is designed for dentists looking to expand their knowledge and surgical skills in sinus lift procedures and complication management.
The course covers all stages of sinus lift treatment, from case selection and treatment planning to a range of surgical approaches, including internal, external and piezo-assisted augmentation techniques. Participants will also learn evidence-based protocols for identifying, preventing, and managing intra- and post-operative complications associated with sinus lift surgery.
Practical exercises on sheep jaws, models, and eggs with Piezosurgery and surgical motors.
Event Content
Part I.
SINUS AUGMENTATION
- Anatomy of the sinus and the surrounding structures
- CBCT evaluation and treatment planning for predictable sinus grafting
- Flap design
- Crestal sinus lift and bone splitting
- Lateral window technique with different instrumentations
- Sinus floor elevation from the palatal side
- Hydrodynamic Piezosurgery sinus elevation
- The Schneiderian membrane – practical tips on how to elevate it
- Sinus Augmentation graft materials and surgical techniques
- Preparation techniques of the implant site with low residual bone height
- Combination with lateral augmentation
- Sinus floor augmentation without bone grafting
- Complex techniques for posterior maxillary reconstruction
- Contraindications for sinus lift
Part II.
HANDS-ON (across both days)
- Eggs – to develop membrane handling skills and precision.
- Models – for controlled simulation of sinus lift techniques.
- Sheep heads – to practice on live-tissue anatomy for a realistic surgical experience.
Part III.
COMPLICATION MANAGEMENT IN SINUS LIFT
Preoperative complications
- Preoperative acute, chronic and fungal sinusitis
- Preoperative cystic structures and mucoceles
Intraoperative complications in implant placement
- Sinus floor perforation
- Bleeding
- Dislocation
- Aspiration or ingestion of foreign objects
- Perforation of the sinus membrane during elevation
- Bleeding during membrane elevation
- Presence of a mucus retention cyst
- Blockage of the maxillary ostium
Postoperative Complications
- Postoperative pain
- Complications associated with lateral window sinus elevation
- Acute graft infection/sinusitis
- Chronic infection/sinusitis
- Delayed implant migration into the sinus cavity
