Synopsis

The vertically deficient posterior maxilla often requires augmentation to allow implant placement. This course will review traditional Trans-alveolar Sinus Elevation (TASE) techniques with osteotomes and discuss in detail an advanced osteotome technique using Contiguous Sinus Floor Elevation (CSFE). CSFE offers predictable large elevations (5-8 mm) as a minimally invasive approach. These techniques offer simultaneous single stage implant insertion, faster healing interval and minimal discomfort. Cone Beam CT imaging is important for evaluation of alveolar dimensions, sinus anatomy and pathology for appropriate technique selection. We will discuss progressive skill development to avoid complications.

Learning Objectives
  1. Describe the minimally invasive applications of CSFE.
  2. Describe the anatomic basis and principles of CSFE to prevent complications.
