Overview

We look forward to welcoming you to the fourth Glasgow Oral Surgery Symposium.

We will be joined by international and national speakers who will present lectures to improve the understanding of the maxillary sinus for early diagnosis of diseases, the prevention and management of complications, and rehabilitation of the upper jaw.  

Sessions will include:   

• Importance of understanding surgical anatomy to improve the surgical outcomes.
• Radiological interpretation including the use of advanced imaging such as CBCT/CT/MRI  
• Early diagnosis of the diseases ranging from benign to malignant 
• Clinical and radiological markers to prevent complications 
• To manage the complications following oral surgical procedures 
• Maxillary sinus augmentation with sinus lifts and lateral ridge augmentation 
• Diseases of both odontogenic and maxillary sinus mis-represent the clinical findings resulting in delay in the diagnosis and management.    
• Zygomatic implants

The aims of this symposium are to understand the relevance of maxillary sinus anatomy and behaviour when planning maxillary molar extractions and dental implants, prevent and manage complications arising from dentoalveolar surgery in the maxilla, identify malignant lesions of the sinus and appreciate the effect on the surrounding alveolus and dentition, as well as recognising the presentation of odontogenic sinusitis and appropriate management. 

Objectives

• To have an understanding of maxillary sinus anatomy including behaviour of the Schneiderian membrane following maxillary molar extractions 
• To be able to prevent and manage complications in relation to the maxillary sinus when planning dentoalveolar surgery 
• To be able to identify and manage cases of odontogenic sinusitis 
• To recognise difficulties in dental rehabilitation following maxillary sinus pneumatisation and be aware of the treatment options and indications for sinus lift, zygomatic implants and short implant placement 
• To be aware of indications for the closure of oro-antral communications 
• To be able to recognise radiological and clinical signs of maxillary sinus malignancy and the effects this can have on maxillary molars in advanced cases
