Advanced procedures (sinus lifts, complex GBR, ridge expansion) are handled in separate advanced modules. Small teams (typically 2 per chair) rotate operator/assistant roles under close mentorship to maximize surgical exposure. University oversight, standardized consent and documentation ensure a safe education-first environment. (~30 placed + ~30 assisted; instructor ratio aligned to UOD academic standards).
