LIFTS, BUMPS, AND IMPLANTS: MANAGING THE SINUS AND POSTERIOR MAXILLA

Ridge resorption, sinus pneumatization, and low-density bone are a reality of operating in the posterior maxilla; modern implant dentistry incorporates classical techniques and the latest technology to overcome these challenges.  This course will provide you with the knowledge needed for proper case and material selection. You will gain confidence in bumping the sinus, elevating the entire membrane through a window, densifying bone, and gaining ridge width using cadaver specimens in simulated surgical experiences.
