Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction (Sep 25 - 27, 2025)

Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction is organized by Pikos Institute and will be held from Sep 25 - 27, 2025 at Pikos Institute Inc, New Port Richey, Trinity, Florida, United States of America.

Description:

• Lateral Wall Approac
• Crestal Approach
• Sinus Membrane Perforation Repair
• Prevent & Manage Complications
• CBCT Evaluation
• Delayed & Simultaneous Implant Placement
• Bioactive Modifiers

This comprehensive course explores the Pikos Institute’s sinus bone grafting philosophy and protocols, utilizing a 3D digital diagnostic approach for predictable sinus augmentation outcomes. The curriculum, rooted in scientific principles, presents seven key algorithms for reliable grafting. It covers sinus bone graft biology, guided bone regeneration, and material differences (autografts, allografts, xenografts, alloplasts) for optimal selection. Detailed protocols for lateral and crestal approaches are included, with indications for each. Long-term cases (10-20+ years) illustrate grafting impacts. Advanced growth factors (L-PRF, PRGF, PRP, rhPDGF, rhBMP-2) are explored for implant success, alongside risk management for complications like thickened membranes, polyps, and cysts.

Course Objectives:
At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the Pikos Institute Philosophy for sinus bone grafting and gain confidence in the clinical and sequential CBCT evaluation protocol.
• Understand the indications, guidelines, and surgical protocols for sinus bone grafting for dental implants, including both lateral and crestal approaches.
• Perform sinus bone grafting with both delayed and simultaneous implant placement.
• Comprehend the anatomy, biology, and wound healing processes involved in sinus bone grafting and a sinus lift.
• Recognize, manage, and prevent intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with sinus bone grafting and sinus augmentation
