By joining this evidence-based educational path, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the evolution of sinus lift protocols and techniques over the last decades, as well as of the key role played by sinus grafting surgery and its impact on implant survival rate.

In particular, you’ll learn how a new flap design and a new antrostomy technique can help you make sinus surgery with lateral approach less invasive and minimize the risk of postoperative complications.

Are you eager to know more? Then join Prof. Testori in this incredible journey into maxillary sinus surgery!

The course includes:

• 12 theoretical video lessons (9+ hours)
• 2 ReLIVE Surgeries with step-by-step commentary (3+ hours)
• Certificate of Attendance

Topics covered in the course:

• Sinus physiology: when to refer to an ENT specialist?
• Case selection: diagnosis, indications and contraindications
• Maxillary sinus lift: clinical indications, treatment planning, surgical procedures
• Lateral vs crestal approach: the rationale behind this choice
• How to prevent, detect, and manage intra– and post–op complications
• A new flap design technique to avoid biological and vascular complications
• The Simplified Antrostomy Design (S.A.D.) Technique

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Perform sinus lift with lateral access using piezoelectric devices or traditional rotary tools;
• Manage common complications such as membrane perforations, cysts removal, and septum bones;
• Understand and perform the S.A.D. Technique to facilitate maxillary sinus membrane elevation;
• Properly use the correct instruments for membrane detachment and elevation;
• Performs different functional antrostomy designs;
• Understand when and how to prepare the site for implant placement;
• Identify and propose alternatives to sinus lift: the M.I.F.A. protocol.
