Graftless Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation (LSFE)
Connect digital planning, sinus membrane management and implant placement through a graftless lateral approach.
With Prof. Stefan Lundgren and Dr. Giampiero Ciabattoni
Course information
Explore sinus augmentation without graft material.
Study the rationale and operative sequence of graftless lateral sinus floor elevation with Stefan Lundgren and Giampiero Ciabattoni. The course connects biological principles with treatment planning, instrumentation and recorded surgery.
Three lectures establish the background, technique and complication-management considerations. Six ReLIVE surgical recordings then illustrate unilateral and bilateral procedures, followed by a dedicated instrumentation lesson.
Review the sequence as advanced continuing education alongside appropriate clinical training. Case selection, residual bone and primary implant stability remain central considerations; the approach is not suitable for every patient.

Who this course is for
For clinicians planning surgery in the posterior maxilla.
Most relevant to dentists with an implant-surgery foundation who want to study graftless sinus augmentation.
Oral surgeons
Review lateral access, membrane handling and intraoperative decision-making.
Periodontists
Explore graftless augmentation as part of a broader implant treatment strategy.
Biology and planning
Understand the space before planning the implant.
The course connects the biological concept with the anatomy and stability required for treatment.
Begin with the rationale and long-term follow-up, then explore the lateral surgical approach. The recorded cases put planning and operative decisions into context rather than presenting one procedure as a universal solution.
“
Plan the access. Respect the membrane. Evaluate implant stability.
What you’ll learn
From the biological rationale to the surgical sequence.
01
Understand the graftless concept
Examine the rationale for bone formation beneath an elevated sinus membrane.
02
Connect planning and surgery
Follow digitally planned cases and the use of surgical guidance.
03
Review lateral access
Study the steps involved in creating access and managing the sinus membrane.
04
Compare clinical scenarios
Observe unilateral and bilateral procedures in premolar and molar regions.
05
Anticipate complications
Review what can go wrong and the decisions discussed by the instructors.
06
Select the instrumentation
Revisit the instruments and settings demonstrated for surgical use.
Six recorded surgeries
Follow the technique across different clinical situations.
The surgical library includes unilateral and bilateral sinus elevation, premolar and molar treatment sites, and cases with two or three implants per side. Pause and revisit the operative sequence alongside the theoretical lectures.
- Digital treatment planning
- Lateral sinus access
- Membrane management
- Implant positioning

Two complementary perspectives on graftless sinus elevation: biological research and digitally planned implant surgery.
Prof. Stefan Lundgren
Oral and maxillofacial surgery · Sweden
Stefan Lundgren is a senior professor in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Umeå University. His research focuses on bone regeneration, sinus membrane elevation and implant rehabilitation. In this course, he connects the biological basis of graftless augmentation with the surgical approach and long-term follow-up.
Dr. Giampiero Ciabattoni
Digital implantology and prosthodontics · Italy
Giampiero Ciabattoni practices oral surgery, implantology and prosthodontics in Faenza, Italy. An educator in computer-assisted implant treatment and author of Digital Implantology, he brings a digital-planning perspective to implant positioning, surgical guidance and the recorded clinical cases.
