Sinus Augmentation – 3-Day Masterclass

December 5–7, 2025 | Acharya Foundation, Chennai

Master the Posterior Maxilla with Confidence:

The Acharya Foundation proudly presents an advanced learning experience on Sinus Augmentation, led by renowned Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Yazad Gandhi (MDS, Fellow – ITI & ICD; KOL – Versah).

This masterclass is tailored for clinicians who routinely encounter atrophic posterior maxilla situations and want to elevate their skillset with predictable sinus-lift protocols supported by evidence-based practice.

Across three power-packed days, participants will progress from foundational anatomical understanding to hands-on execution of both direct and indirect sinus elevation techniques, building the competence to deliver stable, long-lasting implant outcomes for their patients.

Why This Course is Unique:

✅ Two full live surgeries with moderator-led guidance and intraoperative Q&A

✅ Dual-technique focus — lateral window & minimally invasive crestal approach

✅ Versah Densah™ osteotomy hands-on with industry-supported instrumentation

✅ Real-world decision making through case selection algorithms & risk evaluation

✅ Hybrid training model — animal jaws, high-fidelity sinus models & soft-tissue suturing stations

✅ Complication-first approach — perforations, bleeding control & graft escape protocols

✅ Pre-course onboarding + post-course mentorship & WhatsApp support

✅ Small cohort ensuring one-on-one faculty attention and personalized feedback

✅ Clinical integration plan to implement your first sinus case safely upon return to practice

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Assessment & Planning

1. Interpret CBCT findings for sinus pathology, septa, and residual bone height
2. Formulate indications for lateral vs transcrestal sinus lift techniques
3. Select biomaterials for grafting based on defect morphology and healing goals

Surgical Execution

1. Perform flap design and elevation with minimized soft-tissue trauma
2. Create a lateral antrostomy and safely elevate Schneiderian membrane
3. Apply Osteodensification and internal sinus elevation methods
4. Place implants simultaneously or in staged scenarios depending on RBH

Complication Management

1. Diagnose and manage membrane tears with collagen patches/fibrin sealants
2. Control bleeding from intraosseous anastomoses
3. Maintain graft containment and prevent infections or graft migration

Prognosis & Maintenance

1. Understand healing timelines, loading protocols, and long-term surveillance
2. Communicate risk-benefit and expectations effectively with patients

Course Inclusions

1. 2 live surgeries with moderated learning
2. Hands-on sinus lift exercises on goat/sheep jaws & premium sinus models
3. Biomaterial & instrumentation demonstrations (Versah, Osteobiologics partners)
4. Lunch + refreshments across all days
5. Certificate of Advanced Training in Sinus Augmentation

Seats are limited to maintain intensive faculty interaction.
