This 1-day hands-on course, using fresh human cadaver heads, provides insight into oral anatomy with relevance in oral surgical procedures. Main focus is the sinus lift procedure. Theoretical aspects on relevant anatomical issues and grafting procedures are presented in summary.

The hands-on parts cover the following procedures:

Lateral window approach with rotary instruments
Lateral window approach with piezosurgery
Transcrestal approach with osteotomes
Transcrestal approach with piezosurgery
Transcrestal approach with osseodensification technique
Transcrestal approach with a magnetic mallet
Autogenous bone harvesting

And the program leaves space for adaptation for individual wishes!

The course will take place in Austria at the Institute for Anatomy (Medical University of Vienna), Währinger Straße 13, 1090 Vienna.
