Why Choose this course?
A comprehensive programme combining evidence-based lectures with extensive hands-on surgical training.
Master Predictable Sinus Lift Techniques
Gain the knowledge and practical skills to perform sinus lift safely from treatment planning through to surgical execution.
Learn from an Expert
Learn directly from Prof. Puria Parvini, with over 25 years of surgical and academic teaching experience in implantology.
Theory Meets Extensive Hands-on Training
A highly practical course combining evidence-based lectures with extensive hands-on training using models, eggs and sheep heads.
Step-by-Step Surgical Training
Every technique is demonstrated step-by-step, including internal and external sinus lift approaches, piezo-assisted augmentation and the management of complications.
Master Predictable Sinus Lift
This popular Sinus Lift Course is designed to give clinicians both the theoretical knowledge and practical surgical skills needed to perform sinus augmentation with confidence and predictability.
You will learn how to assess the sinus, select the appropriate technique and perform both internal and external sinus lift procedures, including piezo-assisted sinus augmentation.
A major focus of the course is complication prevention and management, including the identification, prevention and repair of Schneiderian membrane perforations.
Through extensive hands-on training with eggs, models and sheep heads, you will have the opportunity to practise sinus lift techniques using piezosurgery units and surgical motors in a realistic surgical environment.
With over 25 years of surgical and academic teaching experience in implantology, Prof. Puria Parvini will guide you through the techniques and protocols required to approach sinus augmentation with greater confidence, precision and predictability.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
✔ Assess and plan sinus lift cases using appropriate clinical and radiographic assessment.
✔ Understand sinus anatomy and identify key anatomical factors that influence treatment planning and surgical safety.
✔ Select the appropriate sinus lift technique based on residual bone height, anatomy and clinical indications.
✔ Perform internal sinus lift procedures using predictable step-by-step protocols.
✔ Perform external/lateral window sinus lift procedures with appropriate surgical techniques.
✔ Apply piezo-assisted sinus augmentation techniques safely and effectively.
✔ Manage the Schneiderian membrane during sinus elevation and minimise the risk of perforation.
✔ Recognise, prevent and manage complications associated with sinus lift procedures.
✔ Repair Schneiderian membrane perforations using appropriate clinical techniques.
✔ Gain practical experience using piezosurgery units, surgical motors and relevant sinus lift instrumentation.
✔ Apply the techniques hands-on using realistic training models and surgical specimens.
Ongoing post-course support
