TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS

First Day
Second Day

Morning

Maxillary Sinus Lift – Theory

The maxillary sinus floor elevation procedure is a surgical technique aimed at restoring bone volume in the posterior maxilla to allow for the restoration of masticatory and aesthetic function through the insertion of dental implants. This procedure is commonly performed when the height of the alveolar ridge is insufficient due to sinus pneumatization following tooth loss. During the theoretical part, the scientific and diagnostic bases underlying this technique, surgical techniques, and potential complications associated with maxillary sinus elevation will be explored. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of proper patient selection, preoperative evaluation, and surgical planning to ensure predictable outcomes. Additionally, innovations in materials and technologies, such as piezosurgery and membranes, will be discussed to improve the success and safety of the procedure. Understanding the principles and nuances of this technique is essential for oral and maxillofacial surgeons to provide optimal care to patients and achieve favorable long-term results.

Topics covered:

Anatomy and Physiology of the Maxillary Sinus
Biological Basis for Achieving Adequate Bone Volumes
Diagnosis and Preliminary Instrumental Examinations
Incision Techniques
Bone Access Window: Piezosurgery and Surgical Handpiece
Membrane Elevation: Operative Sequence
Types of Grafts and Different Graft Materials
Management of Intraoperative Complications
Suturing Techniques
Pharmacological Therapy and Management of Postoperative Complications

Afternoon

Practical Exercise on Cadaver
Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation Procedure

Topics covered: Incision, elevation, bone access window, membrane elevation, grafting, management of the bone access window, suturing.

During the practical part, the participant will have the opportunity to perform a maxillary sinus floor elevation procedure on a cadaver. The practical part will not only allow for the acquisition of practical knowledge regarding the instruments and techniques to be used but will also allow for interaction with qualified tutors who will assist the participant during the procedure. Each participant will be guided in identifying anatomical landmarks during incision and soft tissue elevation. They will then be assisted in performing the bone access window and all phases of maxillary sinus membrane elevation, grafting, and final soft tissue management. The aim of the practical part is for each participant to acquire the necessary skills to perform a maxillary sinus floor elevation procedure safely and reproducibly with complete autonomy.

Morning

Bone Reconstruction of Atrophic Alveolar Ridge with Bone Graft from the Ascending Branch of the Mandible - Theoretical Part

Bone reconstruction of the alveolar ridge is a surgical procedure that corrects bone atrophy of the edentulous maxillary ridge. The technique with bone graft from the ascending branch of the mandible is currently one of the safest methods to obtain adequate bone volumes for proper implant placement. During the theoretical part, preoperative and surgical planning necessary to ensure predictable results will be described. Additionally, innovations in materials and technologies, such as piezosurgery and osteosynthesis means, will be discussed to improve the success and safety of the procedure.

Topics covered:

Anatomy of the Mandible
Indications for the use of bone graft from the ascending branch of the mandible
Surgical technique of bone harvesting
Technique for preparing the recipient site: soft tissue management, graft modeling and fixation, sutures
Postoperative protocols
Management of complications

Afternoon

Bone Reconstruction of Atrophic Alveolar Ridge with Bone Graft from the Ascending Branch of the Mandible - Practical Exercise on Cadaver

Phase 1: Bone Segment Harvest from the Ascending Branch of the Mandible.

Incision, elevation, graft definition, osteotomy preparation, bone harvesting, suturing.

Phase 2: Bone Grafting on the Edentulous Ridge

Incision, elevation (identification of the mental foramen), recipient site preparation, bench modeling of the graft, fixation with osteosynthesis screws, closure with soft tissue management (periosteal release, sutures).

Extraordinary gala dinner included!

Explore Verona,

a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the Veneto region of Italy, stands as a testament to centuries of history, culture, and romance. This enchanting city, immortalized by Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" offers a picturesque setting that blends its rich past with the vibrancy of modern life.
