Understand the indications and contraindications for crestal sinus elevation, including the use of various instruments and approaches.
Learn predictable and effective techniques for performing crestal sinus elevation.
Gain familiarity with strategies for managing common complications associated with sinus augmentation.
Sinus elevation is a well-established procedure for overcoming limited vertical bone availability during dental implant placement. While the use of short implants has shown predictable success in certain cases, the crestal sinus elevation technique has gained widespread acceptance in recent years due to the introduction of various approaches, instruments, and devices. This presentation will explore enhanced protocols and techniques to optimize crestal sinus elevation. Attendees will learn how to achieve optimal elevation through the use of specialized tools and methodologies. Additionally, new strategies for managing sinus septa, dealing with slopes, and repairing Schneiderian membrane perforations during the crestal approach will be highlighted.
