In this module, Prof. Pascal Valentini will give you a detailed insight into the topic of sinus floor elevation. He discusses important aspects of sinus floor elevation including: anatomical and physiological considerations as preparation for surgery, patient selection, diagnostics (CBCT), surgical technique, grafting material and complication management. These aspects are nicely illustrated by a lot of clinical cases and surgical videos.
