The lecture discusses the possibilities and advantages when using innovative digital concepts for diagnostics, treatment and surgery planning. At the beginning digital diagnostic tools helped to find available bone, today they assist in prosthetic and esthetic driven treatment...

The lecture presents esthetic reconstruction principles in the anterior maxilla and discusses the challenge to integrate white and pink esthetics - soft tissue and tooth restoration. Dr Coachman presents a clinical case with an implant based crown restoration on an upper central...

The lecture explains the workflow of implant surgery with digital treatment planning and guided surgery, with the example of a clinical treatment case in the maxilla with multiple missing teeth. Dr Cantoni and Dr Polizzi explain the possibilities of interdisciplinary digital...

The lecture presents an All-on 4 treatment in a complex case, on a patient with Huntingtons chorea with constant parafunction. The anatomic challenges comprise unfavorable biomechanics, alveolar mandibular hypertrophy and super-erupted lower teeth, absence of maxillary alveolar bon

A 50-year-old female patient with a strong fear of the dentist. A full-mouth rehabilitation of the maxilla with implants using a surgical guide was performed.

A 58-year-old male patient case shows the rehabilitation of failing dentition in the maxilla, including digital treatment planning. The mandible was also included in the treatment process to receive a satisfying functional and esthetic result.

A 65-year-old male healthy patient, who had already experienced implant reconstruction of his lower jaw some 12 years previously, wished to find a fixed alternative to his troublesome removable prosthesis. A good volume of bone and of keratinized tissues remained.

A 47-year-old male patient diagnosed with a maxillary osteosarcoma, treated with excision, leaving a large oro-antral / oro-nasal fistula. He had to wear an obturator which leaked and was uncomfortable, affecting speech & function with a severe impact on his quality of life.

This treatment shows a patient with a failing maxillary dentition from advanced periodontitis and caries. A fixed, implant supported, maxillary immediately loaded technique was used by placing implants in sites selected for maximum initial stability, thereby avoiding the need for g

The lecture discusses parameters influencing the esthetic result of an implant based restoration from the perspective of the dental technician. Presenting clinical cases in the esthetic zone, Patrick Rutten gives insights in material selection highlighting the advantages of CAD/CAM...

The lecture discusses the advantages of CAD/CAM technology in comparison to previous cast procedures. With cast and soldering procedures it is almost impossible to achieve a perfect passive fit. P Rutten highlights especially CAD/CAM technology providing consistent and exceptional...
