Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction with Michael A. Pikos — lateral and crestal lifts without aborted cases
Sinus Grafting for Implant Reconstruction, part of the Pikos Online MasterClass Series, distils what Dr. Michael A. Pikos has learned from more than 1,500 sinus grafts over three decades. Across 16 modules and roughly 25 hours, he explains which lateral-wall and crestal protocols hold up, which do not, and the reasoning behind each choice — including his technique for repairing a torn Schneiderian membrane on the spot so the graft can still go ahead.

Inside the masterclass
Biology and diagnosis
Sinus anatomy, graft biology and wound healing set the foundation, followed by the Pikos Institute approach to clinical examination and serial CBCT review before any flap is raised.
Sinus grafting for implant reconstruction: two approaches
Indications, guidelines and step-by-step surgical protocols for the lateral wall and the crestal route, with the role of bioactive modifiers and the timing of implant placement.
Complications, prevented and managed
Intraoperative and postoperative problems are covered in detail, centred on immediate membrane perforation repair so that a tear no longer means abandoning the procedure.
How it is taught
Interactive lecture discussion, HD surgical clips, workshop segments and live surgical demonstration, with emphasis on the “why” and “why not” as well as the “how”.
