Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction
The Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction training course, which is led by Dr. Michael A. Pikos, is now available online and provides a rich experience in the lateral wall and at the top of the sinuses. With over 30 years of experience and a remarkable history of over 1400 lateral walls and hundreds of crestal sinuses grafts, Dr. Pikos will assist you in every aspect of this intricate procedure.
COURSE TOPICS:
- Pikos Institute Philosophy of sinus bone grafting.
- Sequential 3D digital diagnostic evaluation protocol for predictable sinus bone grafting.
- 7 key principles and algorithms for science based, predictable sinus bone grafting.
- Biology and wound healing of sinus bone grafting.
- Comparison of autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts as graft materials for sinus bone grafting.
- Indications and step by step surgical protocol for sinus bone grafting – lateral and crestal approach.
- Comprehensive long term case presentations (10-20+years).
- Growth factor technology (L-PRF, PRGF, PRP, rhPDGF, rhBMP-2) in conjunction with sinus bone grafting.
- Risk management issues related to sinus bone grafting.
- Sinus bone grafting in the presence of thickened sinus membranes, polyps and mucous retention cysts.
- Comprehensive recognition, management, and treatment of intraoperative, early and late postoperative complications.

23 Credit Hours
- This 16-module master’s degree is intended to provide you with a scientifically-based approach that combines artistry and science. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the process of sinus grafting, including topics related to the digital evaluation of CBCT cases, anatomical and biological aspects of sinuses, incision line management, flap creation, and the development of bioactive materials, as well as recombinant proteins. The course also has a special emphasis on the Pikos Sinus Membrane Repair Technique, protocols for the surgical procedure are included that focus on both the lateral wall and the crestal sinus.
- Other than the technical aspects of sinus grafting, this course contains modules dedicated to preventing and treating early and late postoperative complications, infections, and pathology.
- Taking this class will grant you access to exclusive webinars led by Dr. Pikos annually, these webinars provide additional information, updates, and opportunities for interaction. With over 50 videos and 1400 slides, which are part of the 16 modules, the Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction course provides visual aides that will support your learning journey. This training program grants you 25 hours of additional education (CE), which will expand your knowledge and help you to grow professionally.
- Join the Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction training and unleash your full potential. Invest in your professional growth and take the implant reconstruction method to a new level.
