Lateral Approach for Sinus Floor Elevation

Description

Speaker: Dr. Hazem Torki

Workshop: Lateral Approach for Sinus Floor Elevation

Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Understand sinus anatomy relevant to lateral wall elevation and its implications for implant placement.

2. Identify indications and contraindications for lateral sinus wall elevation procedures.

3. Recognise key surgical instruments and biomaterials used during sinus augmentation.

4. Perform a lateral window preparation on dummy heads under guided supervision.

5. Practice membrane elevation techniques while minimising the risk of perforation.

6. Apply grafting protocols and implant site preparation within the sinus cavity.

7. Manage intraoperative complications (e.g., sinus membrane perforation, bleeding) through simulation.

8. Integrate sinus lift principles into treatment planning for posterior maxillary implant cases.
