Upcoming Medical Conferences in Los Angeles

Focus on the Maxillary Sinus: Lecture & Cadaver Hands-On Workshop is organized by Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California (USC) and will be held on Dec 14, 2019 at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Los Angeles, California, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is the clinician that has prior implant experience and would like to broaden knowledge, scope of practice and improve surgical skill. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 8 Continuing Education Credits. SYNOPSIS: Dental implants are a predictable treatment option when there is sufficient quantity and quality of bone. However, when patients present with deficient alveolar ridges, it can hamper the placement of dental implants. This problem is especially magnified in the posterior maxilla where ridge resorption and sinus pneumatization, compounded with a poor quality of bone, are often encountered. The procedure of choice to restore this anatomic deficiency is maxillary sinus floor elevation (sinus lift).
