Sinus Lift & Split Crest Course
Advanced surgery of atrophic ridges
A two-day theory-to-practice masterclass on the surgical management of atrophic ridges, using expansive and distractive techniques with the Magnetic Mallet.
Hands-on practice · M&M Education, Manfredonia A theory-to-practice protocol for atrophic ridges.
The masterclass is built around the procedures where the technique based on MAGNETODYNAMICS delivers the clearest clinical advantage: split crest, crestal sinus lift, and bone expansion. From a complete anatomical and radiological overview, the faculty introduces a new classification that guides the clinician toward the simplest procedure capable of achieving the surgical goal.
- I.
Bone expansion
Treat horizontal atrophies by expanding the ridge instead of removing bone. Step-by-step protocol with the Magnetic Mallet on individual workstations.
- II.
Split crest
Manage narrow ridges with controlled splitting and immediate or delayed implant placement. Flap design, release incisions, and horizontal GBR.
- III.
Crestal sinus lift
Raise the Schneiderian membrane via the crestal approach using Summers (classic and modified), Fugazzotto plug, and the L.M.S.F. technique. Less invasive, more predictable.
- IV.
L.M.S.F. technique
Lateral Management with the Sinus Floor — a protocol based on MAGNETODYNAMICS developed inside the OSSEOTOUCH ELEVATE group for borderline anatomical scenarios.
Two surgeons. One operating philosophy.
Both faculty members use the Magnetic Mallet daily in private practice and have been training peers on the technique based on MAGNETODYNAMICS for years.
Dr. Luca Boschini
Oral Surgeon
Internationally known for atraumatic extraction protocols and his work with the Blexo extractor system. Daily user of the Magnetic Mallet in implant surgery, frequently invited speaker at congresses across Europe and the United States.
Dr. Michele Melillo
Oral Surgeon · M&M Education
Co-founder of M&M Education and a leading clinician on crestal sinus lift, split crest and the L.M.S.F. technique. Faculty member at multiple Italian universities, regular contributor to the OSSEOTOUCH ELEVATE protocol working group.
From theory to hands-on, in two days.
Each day pairs a morning of theory and case planning with a full afternoon of individual hands-on practice on animal models. The faculty rotates between the workstations and walks every participant through the protocol.
Split Crest & Expansive Techniques
Theory
- DICOM reading and interpretation
- Classification of horizontal atrophies
- Flap management and release incisions
- Implant placement
- Horizontal GBR
- Suturing techniques to reduce flap tension
Practice
- Expansion simulator
- Calf rib
- Pig mandible with implant placement
Crestal Sinus Lift
Theory
- Sinus atrophy classification
- Summers technique (classic and modified)
- Fugazzotto plug
- L.M.S.F. technique
- ELEVATE group decision-making protocol
- Clinical limits and complication management
Practice
- Dedicated didactic models
- Pig head
- Biomaterial and implant placement
Each workstation reproduces the operating room — one device per surgeon.
Twelve individual stations, each equipped with the full technological setup needed to perform the procedures exactly as they are executed on a patient. The Magnetic Mallet plays a central role: every participant works with their own device throughout the two days.
Magnetic Mallet
Device based on MAGNETODYNAMICS for atraumatic implant site preparation, split crest expansion, and crestal sinus lift. Compaction over removal.
Black Ruby kit
Five osteotomes engineered for sinus lift via the crestal approach. Used in all sinus lift practical scenarios on day 2.
Elevate kit
Osteotome system for the L.M.S.F. technique and the ELEVATE decision-making protocol. Hands-on on day 2.
Biomaterials & implants
Each workstation includes the biomaterials and implant components needed to complete every protocol from incision to closure.
Step-by-step tutoring from the faculty during the entire practical session. The Magnetic Mallet is yours during the course; if you wish to continue with it after, you can request a demo in India through MyOSSEOTOUCH.
Education and leisure. One complete experience.
M&M Education hosts the masterclass on the Gargano peninsula in Apulia, southern Italy — sea cliffs, ancient pine forests, white-sand beaches, and a culinary tradition that turns lunch into an event. The Learn & Chill optional package combines the surgical training with the destination.
Intensive surgical training
Two full days of theory and individual hands-on practice with the faculty.
Excursions and seaside
Boat trips along the Gargano coast, the Tremiti Islands, and the cliff beaches of Vieste and Mattinata.
Hiking and outdoors
Trails through the Foresta Umbra pine forest and the Gargano cliffs. Active outdoor breaks between the surgical sessions.
Local gastronomy
Apulian cuisine — orecchiette, fresh seafood, burrata, local olive oil and Daunia-region wines.

Frequently asked
Who is this course for?
Oral surgeons and implantologists working with atrophic ridges who want a predictable protocol for split crest, bone expansion and crestal sinus lift using the technique based on MAGNETODYNAMICS. Basic experience in implant surgery is required. The course is delivered entirely in English for an international audience.
What does the practical part involve?
Each participant has an individual workstation with all the technological equipment needed to reproduce procedures exactly as they are performed on a patient. Practice is on calf rib and pig mandible (day 1) and pig head (day 2). Step-by-step tutoring from the faculty during the entire hands-on session.
Why is the Magnetic Mallet central to this course?
The Magnetic Mallet works by compaction rather than removal. In split crest it expands the atrophic ridge while preserving native bone. In crestal sinus lift it raises the Schneiderian membrane with controlled millimetric excursion and immediate tactile feedback. The absence of rotation and irrigation reduces the risk of membrane perforation and improves implant primary stability.
Can I bring a colleague from my practice?
Yes. Each registration is per-person (one workstation, one Magnetic Mallet). If you'd like multiple seats from the same practice, contact OSSEOTOUCH Product Specialist in India to ask about availability before registering.
What is the cancellation policy?
The course organiser confirms attendance and cancellation terms. OSSEOTOUCH Product Specialist in India can help you obtain current information before making a booking.
Was the previous June edition the same program?
Yes. The June 29–30, 2026 edition followed the same two-day program, faculty and hands-on setup. It has now concluded.
Twelve seats. Two surgeons. One operating philosophy.
