Gain insights from Dr. Pikos' 34+ years and 1,600+ sinus grafts to learn 'what works, what doesn’t, and why.' This expert-led course hones technical skills and clinical judgment for implant surgery, includes hands-on workshops and live surgery.
Learn and perform the best practices for the best predictable outcomes and never abort a sinus case again due to a perforated sinus membrane.
This comprehensive course explores the Pikos Institute's sinus bone grafting philosophy and protocols, utilizing a sophisticated 3D digital diagnostic approach for predictable augmentation outcomes. The curriculum, firmly rooted in scientific principles, presents seven key algorithms that form the foundation for reliable grafting success. Through detailed examination of sinus bone graft biology and wound healing processes, participants gain deep understanding of the principles driving successful outcomes.
The program provides extensive coverage of material selection and application, comparing autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts for optimal clinical decisions. Detailed step-by-step protocols for both lateral and crestal approaches are presented, with clear indications for each technique. Long-term case presentations spanning 10-20+ years demonstrate the sustained impact of proper grafting techniques, while advanced growth factor applications, including L-PRF, PRGF, PRP, rhPDGF, and rhBMP-2, are explored for enhanced implant success.
Special emphasis is placed on risk management and handling challenging cases, including procedures involving thickened sinus membranes, polyps, and mucous retention cysts. The curriculum thoroughly addresses recognition, management, and treatment of intraoperative complications, as well as early and late postoperative challenges. Through a combination of scientific principles and practical applications, participants will develop the confidence to handle complex cases while achieving predictable results.
