Mastering the VERSAH Vertical Lift

This course provides a highly practical, step-by-step guide to performing vertical sinus lifts using Versah (Densah) burs. Dr. Jason Dulac teaches dental professionals how to confidently execute this minimally invasive procedure.

Key Learning Objectives:

Case Selection & CBCT Analysis:

Learn to identify ideal surgical candidates by evaluating CBCT scans for adequate bone height (a minimum of 5mm recommended), ridge width, sinus slope, and contraindications like uncontrolled diabetes or active sinus infections.

The Versah Protocol:

Master the sequential drilling process, understanding when to use the burs in cutting mode versus reverse (osseodensification) mode to safely break the sinus floor and gently lift the membrane without tearing.

Grafting & Implant Placement:

Discover effective techniques for packing and propelling a cortical-cancellous bone graft into the osteotomy, and learn how this protocol routinely achieves high insertion torque values (45–70 Ncm).

Expanded Applications & Post-Op Care:

Explore additional clinical uses for Versah burs—such as managing soft bone and executing delayed immediate implants—along with best practices for post-operative prescriptions and healing timelines.
