Maxillary Sinus Grafting with Pascal Valentini: The Lateral Window Technique, Bone Graft Material Selection, and Complication Prevention. Seminar. "Standard" option

Successful maxillary sinus grafting requires more than surgical technique alone. It depends on selecting the right clinical approach, having a thorough understanding of maxillary sinus anatomy, making evidence-based decisions on grafting materials, and effectively preventing and managing complications. Under the guidance of Professor Pascal Valentini — one of Europe's leading experts in oral surgery and implant dentistry and former President of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) — this course will provide you with the latest international protocols for maxillary sinus grafting using the lateral window technique.

With more than 35 years of clinical experience, significant contributions to the development of modern surgical techniques, and academic appointments at leading European universities, Professor Valentini is recognized worldwide as one of the foremost authorities in maxillary sinus grafting.

During the course, you will:

– Gain an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the maxillary sinus to perform safe and predictable Maxillary Sinus Grafting procedures
– Learn how to select the most appropriate treatment strategy for patients with an atrophic posterior maxilla
– Review contemporary bone grafting materials, their clinical indications, and the scientific evidence supporting their use
– Master maxillary sinus grafting using the lateral window technique in accordance with current international standards and best practices
– Learn how to prevent, recognize, and effectively manage both early and long-term surgical complications.

By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently apply contemporary surgical protocols in your daily clinical practice, make evidence-based treatment decisions, and achieve more predictable outcomes in maxillary sinus grafting procedures.
