Gain insights from Dr. Pikos' 34+ years and 1,600+ sinus grafts to learn 'what works, what doesn’t, and why.' This expert-led course hones technical skills and clinical judgment for implant surgery, includes hands-on workshops and live surgery.

Learn and perform the best practices for the best predictable outcomes and never abort a sinus case again due to a perforated sinus membrane.

Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction

Course Overview

Lateral Wall Approach | Crestal Approach | Sinus Membrane Perforation Repair | Prevent & Manage Complications | CBCT Evaluation | Delayed & Simultaneous Implant Placement | Bioactive Modifiers

This comprehensive course explores the Pikos Institute’s sinus bone grafting philosophy and protocols, utilizing a 3D digital diagnostic approach for predictable sinus augmentation outcomes. The curriculum, rooted in scientific principles, presents seven key algorithms for reliable grafting. It covers sinus bone graft biology, guided bone regeneration, and material differences (autografts, allografts, xenografts, alloplasts) for optimal selection. Detailed protocols for lateral and crestal approaches are included, with indications for each. Long-term cases (10-20+ years) illustrate grafting impacts. Advanced growth factors (L-PRF, PRGF, PRP, rhPDGF, rhBMP-2) are explored for implant success, alongside risk management for complications like thickened membranes, polyps, and cysts.

What Attendees are Saying

So for me, it's great to learn from an experienced clinician like Dr. Pikos, not only to learn from his cool evidence-based techniques that he's sharing with us, but also with the things that over years have not worked for him. For me, that's very valuable because now we can learn from those experiences, those years of experience and I don't have to repeat the same mistake. If you want to bring good knowledge back to your patients, it's worth the time.

Alaine Auguste, General Dentist

I've been wanting to take, because course for quite a while now, I've been a follower of his work, read his textbook cover to cover a bunch of his publications and that's how I really knew that he was the guy come to for sinus lifting. Nobody really is doing it like he is. Definitely recommend this course.

Sean Lan, General Dentist

First time coming to the Pikos Institute. Beautiful course. Very well organized, excellent facility. Material wise, it's I think, one of the best, very happy that I attended the course. It's a hands-on course and also some theory with it. You get the chance to ask questions to discuss some cases with Dr. Pikos himself, which is a great opportunity. Overall, I think it's a five-star course.
