Lecture 1 - Sinus lift procedures: a comprehensive overview and the potential of different treatment options
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson
This first video lesson aims to introduce participants to the main topics of the course by giving an overview of the different treatment options for performing sinus lifts. Prof. Testori explains how difficult it is to find a consensus among experts on which is the gold standard between the crestal, lateral and short implants approach. Participants will be able to see how the invasiveness of these treatments does not come from the type of approach but from the design of the flap.
In particular, this lesson covers the following topics:
• Literature review: different treatment options
• Crestal vs Lateral vs Short Implants approaches
• Newest findings in flap design technique
• Anatomically oriented clinical suggestions to prevent intra- and post-op complications
• Correction of recessions on the adjacent teeth while elevating the sinus
Duration: 17 min

Lecture 2 - The evolution of the Lateral Approach: Lateral Window and Simplified Antrostomy Design
Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson
This lesson focuses on the evolution of the lateral approach that decreased the level of invasiveness of this procedure, making it similar to the crestal approach. Participants will note that this evolution is due to both the innovative flap design and the change in terms of antrostomy. The technique in question, called SAD (Simplified Antrostomy Design) simplifies sinus elevation and decreases the risk of membrane perforation. Finally, the Low Window Technique, a further evolution of the SAD technique that is even less invasive, is discussed.
In particular, this lesson covers the following topics:
• Simplified Antrostomy Design and Low Window Technique
• Revolutionary flap and antrostomy design
• Indications for the SAD technique
• Advantages and surgical protocol: SAD and Low Window Technique
• How to reach the maxillary sinus membrane
• How to identify the mesial sinus wall

Prof. Tiziano Testori explains that there are more than 40 different techniques to perform the crestal approach, and how he has identified two techniques to be the gold standard: the SAD and the Low Window Technique. The speaker then discusses the decision-making algorithm through which he chooses between these different options depending on both sinus size and thickness.
In particular, this lesson covers the following topics:
• The decision tree algorithm to select the proper treatment option
• The importance of understanding biology
• Indications for crestal approach based on sinus dimension and width
• One-stage vs Two-stage lateral approach

Here you can watch a five-minute fragment of the lesson
In this lesson, Prof. Tiziano Testori discusses the evolution of parameters and indications concerning sinus augmentation procedures that have taken place in recent years. Participants will be able to observe how the continuous search for minimal invasiveness has led to the abandonment of techniques involving osteotomy in favor of techniques such as piezoelectric technique and osseodensification. The speaker explains why these treatment options are preferred and what the rationale behind clinical decision making is.
In particular, this lesson covers the following topics:
• Ethical reasons to minimize the invasiveness of sinus lift procedures
• The abandonment of the osteotomy techniques
• When to use piezoelectric and osseodensification techniques?
• The rationale behind the choice between crestal and lateral approach
