"A comprehensive guide to sinus lift surgery from the planning/clinical and non-clinical considerations and practising on a cadaver allowing me to build some dexterity and appreciate the nuances involved with the procedure. This will make me more confident preparing and providing this treatment in practice safely. The input from OMFS and ENT surgeons was invaluable."
