Lecture/Participation Course
Internal Sinus Lift
Jason M. Yamada, D.D.S. M.S.
OVERVIEW
This course is designed for Oral MaxilloFacial Surgeons and Periodontist placing implants. The ISM procedure is a manual internal sinus augmentation procedure for implant therapy in the posterior maxilla. This procedure uses the osteotomy site in order to access the maxillary sinus floor similar to the Osteotome technique; however, the membrane is then manually lifted using specially made instruments to give a more predictable and tactile method of sinus augmentation. The ISM technique has been used for 8 years and a similar success rate has been achieved similar to other sinus augmentation techniques.

Attendees will be instructed on the advantages of using the ISM technique over other techniques currently available. He will also address common complications and treatment of sinus lift and bone augmentation surgery. Attendees will learn how to perform the ISM procedure through a standard osteotomy prior to the placement of implants on a model as well as utilize specially made instrumentation to perform the procedure as well as troubleshoot and repair perforations in any situation. The Neoss implant system will be demonstrated throughout these procedures.
