Surgical Approaches to Soft Tissue & Sinus Lift Techniques - Implant Direct
Price - $1,499.00
About This Course
This course focuses on practical soft tissue and sinus lift techniques that support implant site development in the maxilla. Through lecture, step-by-step demonstration, and hands-on exercises using pig jaws and typodont models, participants will work through the clinical steps involved in preparing sinus sites and managing soft tissue around planned implant locations. The program emphasizes recognizing anatomic landmarks, planning appropriate access, handling tissue carefully, and placing graft material in a controlled, repeatable way. Time is dedicated to suturing and closure so clinicians can complete each procedure from start to finish in a simulated setting. The goal is to give participants a clear, reproducible approach they can bring back to their own practices when treating patients who require sinus-related and soft tissue procedures as part of their implant treatment plan.
