New York University College of Dentistry Flushing, New York
This presentation provides an opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge base and clinical skills to allow for management of simple maxillary sinus cases. Through the use of lecture and participation activities doctors will learn how to perform the transcrestal augmentation technique and build up bone in the posterior maxilla. Emphasis will be placed on simple and practical approaches to place dental implants simultaneously with sinus lift on flat or inclined sinus floor.
