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.

Learning Objectives

1. Perform crestal and lateral window sinus lift techniques step-by-step.

2. Execute proper flap design, reflection, and access for sinus and soft tissue procedures.

3. Elevate the sinus membrane safely and create space for graft material.

4. Select and place graft materials and membranes using controlled, predictable techniques.

5. Complete site closure using suturing methods for soft tissue augmentation procedures.
