Overview
A one-day, hands-on masterclass in sinus augmentation, taught by Prof. Avik Dandapat and Dr Ania Nohawica-Heer at the BCDIS bespoke training facility in Berkshire. The day moves from sinus anatomy and CBCT assessment through crestal and lateral window techniques, with three practical workshops in between.
