Graftless Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation (LSFE)

Overview

Graftless Lateral Sinus Floor Elevation (LSFE) presents an innovative surgical technique focusing on sinus elevation using native bone regeneration without the application of biomaterials or graft materials. This technique is supported by scientific literature that indicates lower implant rejection rates and absence of sinus infections compared to traditional methods. The course covers principles, surgical protocols, and recent innovations in sinus augmentation, aiming to enhance the predictability and safety of the procedure while reducing patient costs.

On-demand dentistry education — accessible anytime, anywhere.

Format: 3 theoretical video lectures, 6 high-quality ReLIVE surgeries, and a video presentation of the surgical instruments.

Content

This course provides detailed instruction on the biological rationale and clinical application of the graftless LSFE technique, including digital planning and management of potential complications.

• The background and philosophy behind the LSFE surgical protocol
• Digital treatment planning (DTX Software) and long-term follow-up results
• Patient’s pre-surgical preparation and post-surgical care
• Management of different sizes of sinus membrane perforations
• Loss of implant integration during healing and functional loading
• Analysis of complications and appropriate responses

• 3 theoretical video lectures
• 6 high-quality ReLIVE surgeries
• Video presentation of the surgical instruments

Learning Objectives

• Perform bone augmentation in a minimally invasive, fast, and predictable manner
• Remove the bone window to create space for sinus membrane access
• Correctly dissect the sinus membrane
• Achieve primary implant stability without changing implant size
• Digitally plan all treatment phases and select appropriate instruments
• Control bleeding from the lateral sinus wall artery
• Remove intra-sinus cysts

Speakers

This course features expert instruction from experienced implantologists specializing in sinus augmentation techniques. Detailed knowledge is provided through both theoretical content and live surgical demonstrations to support clinical skill development in graftless LSFE.

Target Audience
