Course Overview
This 3 day workshop aims provide a comprehensive introduction and hands on experience of sinus lift and block grafting procedures to facilitate dental implant placement
The format will involve pre-course webinars and reading lists followed by a day of face-to-face seminars and 2 days of hands on experience on fresh frozen cadavers with 1 head shared between 2 delegates. The course is comprehensive with broad background information provided from an evidence-based and pragmatic perspective to allow practitioners to safely introduce these techniques into clinical practice.
Practical experience
Priority will be given to delegates gaining hands-on experience of actual surgical procedures for
themselves in a relaxed and supportive environment. The course will be limited to 10 delegates in order to maximise the learning experience. As the course is limited to a small group, there is potential to adjust the content to meet individual learning requirements.
This was a high-end course for experienced dentists/specialists looking for a comprehensive guide to sinus floor elevation/bone grafting. This was superior to other excellent courses I have attended in the past."

Who is the course for?
This course is aimed at delegates who are largely confident with basic GBR procedures and suturing however there is flexibility to help consolidate these skills if required. If you feel you need to develop these skills more it may be worth attending the Implant Treatment Planning Course prior to the Cadaver Course.
Speakers
The teaching will be led by consultants in relevant specialties with supporting seminars from additional medico-legal and scientific experts. This is to provide context to the procedures from a clinical and practical standpoint to underpin the focus on surgical skills.
