Since 1993, Prof. Mazor has been engaged in clinical research in the field of Bone Augmentation and Sinus Floor Elevation. He is currently participating in the quest for improving and evaluating new grafting materials, using various growth factors as well as researching “osseodensification”- a paradigm shift in dental implantology. Prof. Mazor is a renowned author in dental implantology, and is known worldwide for his innovative approaches in cutting-edge procedures and technologies. He is a world known speaker and has lectured extensively both nationally and internationally. This year will be his 25th consecutive year speaking at the AAP.
Prof. Mazor is part of the continuing education faculty at the New York University and an Associate Professor at Titu Maiorescu University in Bucharest, Romania.

Sinus Floor Elevation: State of the Art - Selecting the Least Invasive and Predictable Approach Utilizing L-PRF and Autologous Dentin
Course Description:
This unique hands-on course will present the most current scientific evidence and clinical practice advances in sinus augmentation surgery. Prof Mazor will address the confusion and disagreement that persists over when to use sinus augmentation as well as the limitations and risks of the current approaches. Most clinicians are anxious to expand the clinical utilization of the minimally invasive transalveolar approach, but are reluctant to do so, based on perceived limitations and confusion generated by the myriad of reported modifications, all proclaiming simplicity with more sinus elevation at reduced risk.
Recently introduced burs (Densah®) have the potential to densify, expand and apically displace the residual subantral alveolar bone improving primary stability and providing 2-7 mm of sinus floor elevation. Dr. Mazor will share his clinical experience using these burs in the moderate to severely atrophic posterior maxilla and explain why osteotomes are now used less frequently.
The hands-on model portion of the course will be used for, osseodensification using Densah® burs and the utilization of an autologous platelet concentrate and dentin to enhance healing and regeneration with the L- PRF BLOCK® protocol.
Join us in this intimate setting as Prof Mazor presents his creative approaches to successful management of reduced subantral bone height, sharing procedural modifications and the newest instrumentation designed to improve the clinical experience for both the doctor and patient.
Learning Objectives:
• Sinus anatomy/CBCT analysis: Influence on procedural selection
and outcome.
• Critical analysis of available transalveolar techniques
• Are osteotomes obsolete?
• Osseodensification : application in simultaneous and staged sinus lifts
• Graft material selection.
• Collection and Application of L-PRF in SFE
• Grinded dentin as source for grafting
• Common Intra- and Postoperative complications: Minimization and Management
