Course Description
Throughout the program, you are the direct surgical operator for all of your assigned cases. You will not be sharing patients, partnering with other participants, or assisting other doctors in surgery.
Every participant is provided with their own preassigned patients and performs their own surgeries under the direct supervision and guidance of an experienced implant faculty member.
You will work one-on-one with a dedicated instructor and dental assistants throughout the program, allowing you to receive real-time clinical guidance while performing each procedure.
This highly focused doctor-to-instructor clinical model is designed to maximize your surgical exposure and mentorship during every day of the program, giving you the opportunity to build your confidence and master your skills in sinus lift surgery through real clinical experience on live patients.

Choose the Surgical Experience That's Right for You
At ITC Seminars, we make the highest level of dental implant education accessible to all dentists, regardless of experience or background. Rather than restricting the number of sinus lift surgeries you do during the course, we offer multiple tracks with flexible tuition options, allowing you to choose your desired level of surgical experience and the number of surgeries based on your goals and budget.
Choose YOUR Track
Tuition varies based on the selected surgical track.
Objectives
- Provide diagnosis, prognosis and properly sequenced comprehensive treatment plans for sinus lift.
- Perform Sinus Lifts and bone augmentation surgery with maximum confidence and competency.
- Perform sinus bone grafting with delayed and simultaneous implant placement.
- Successfully manage possible sinus lift complications.
What to Expect During the Course
You will encounter a variety of sinus lift cases and related surgical procedures. All patients are preselected, thoroughly screened, and evaluated in advance for each course participant.
Our Sinus Lift Surgery course is designed to help you master the essential foundations of sinus augmentation, from incision and flap design to sinus membrane elevation and grafting techniques. Through full hands-on training, you will be guided through each critical step, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the skills required for successful sinus lift procedures. Personalized instruction and ongoing assessments by our expert instructors will provide focused guidance on areas where you need the most improvement.
The number and type of procedures you perform will depend on your chosen track (Tracks 1-3). Our expert faculty will continuously assess your performance, tailoring the learning experience to maximize your progress and build your confidence in performing sinus lift surgeries effectively.
Each morning on live surgery days, we start with a short lecture and a meeting with all participants to review the treatment plan and medical history for that day’s patients. Together, we evaluate cases using X-rays to discuss the best treatment plans and approaches for each patient.

ITC Seminars Courses vs. Other Dental CE Providers
|
Other Dental CE Providers | |
|---|---|---|
ADA Accreditation
|
ITC Seminars is the only dental implant CE provider worldwide with University Partnerships that is accredited by the ADA. ADA accreditation, the highest and most rigorous standard in continuing education, is the only accreditation recognized globally, guaranteeing the highest caliber of education. |
Open to commercial bias. No adherence to ADA standards ensuring academic rigor and integrity. Risk of low-quality education and training. No oversight or regulation, leaving participants vulnerable to legal and ethical violations. Lack of guaranteed patient safety and follow-up protocols. |
| Dental University Backed Program |
All courses are exclusively led in partnership with prestigious dental universities globally. Receive your research-based, hands-on training in world-class institutions, led by implant experts and university professors. Universities boast diverse patient databases, providing unparalleled live patient opportunities. |
No oversight or standards governing education quality, exposing participants to inadequate training, unregulated surgical practices, and lack of adherence to established safety protocols, resulting in poorly executed procedures, heightened patient complications, and a lack of accountability for adverse outcomes. |
| Dental University Setting |
All courses take place in international dental universities that include cutting-edge dental facilities with modern technology, highly qualifies dental staff, expert instructors, and access to medical and emergency services for participant and patient safety. |
Courses conducted in unauthorized spaces lack permits and proper resources, increasing risks of patient complications, legal liabilities, and inadequate training. Without oversight or adherence to university-level standards, these settings jeopardize safety, education quality, and liability of participants. |
| Temporary Dental License |
Provides participants with a temporary dental license issued by the university and government health authorities, ensuring legal compliance for treating patients. |
Do not provide temporary licenses, leaving procedures illegal and exposing participants to legal and malpractice risks. Only universities can issue temporary dental licenses for international courses, ensuring compliance with regulations. |
| Tailored Hands-On Training |
Admits only the most qualified applicants through a rigorous selection process. Matches participants with preselected cases that efficiently enhance surgical skills. Personalized training tailored to each doctor's goals, ensuring their skills are developed to the highest standard. |
No admission process. Participants receive identical cases, resulting in generic, unsatisfactory learning experiences. Advanced participants are unchallenged, beginners overwhelmed, and patient safety compromised. |
| Preselection of Patients |
In partnership with the University, we utilize their diverse patient database to expose participants to a wide range of surgical cases, mastering all aspects of implant surgery. Our rigorous prescreening and preselection process ensures participants are matched with cases that align with their goals. |
No preselection of patients resulting in a higher risk of complications during surgery. Patients may not be matched with the appropriate course participant based on their medical history, surgical needs, or experience level of the doctor, compromising the quality of education and patient safety. |
| 100% Patients Restored |
Through our university partnership, we are required to submit annual reports to the government and Ministry of Health, confirming all patients are fully restored after surgery. The university's prosthodontics departments ensure successful restorations, and participants receive images of completed cases post-course. |
No guarantee of patient restoration. Patients are neglected and left with untreated implants for years after surgery, without follow-up care or restoration. |
| Focused on Quality |
We prioritize quality in every aspect, reflected in our university partnerships, ADA accreditation, and strict adherence to legal standards protecting participants' liability. Our commitment ensures personalized, hands-on learning through small course sizes, careful patient selection, and world-class faculty. |
Focus on quantity over quality, oversaturating courses with too many participants and implant placements. This compromises patient outcomes, the learning experience, and local doctors' ability to fully restore all patients. |
| Exclusive Group Size |
Limited enrollment to 4-6 doctors per course, ensuring personalized guidance and a 1:1 instructor-to-participant ratio. Small group sizes allow doctors to work independently, without competing for resources or sharing patients, and gives them full control over their pace during surgeries for a tailored learning experience. |
Enroll 20-30+ participants per course, leading to overcrowded sessions with inadequate supervision. This limits hands-on experience, as doctors must share resources and time, diluting the focus on individual learning and potentially compromising patient outcomes. |

My goal was to gain confidence and proficiency in placing dental implants… Mission Accomplished! I’m ready to ROCK! Thank you ITC.
Coming to this course I had little expectations about learning surgery, but leaving it I feel very confident that I can place any implant. Thanks to 2 bright surgeons (Dr. Casabianca and Dr. Mauro) everything was possible. I will be back for more.
