FROM THE PIKOS INSTITUTE:
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.
