Female patient *1958, by J. Tam and N. P. Lang (2009-2012). Periodontitis case with mobile and elongated anterior tooth, which was replaced by a single implant crown.

A central incisor with reduced attachment and an old FDP in the aesthetic zone had to be replaced in a man with a medium lip line. The case was treated in the private office of Dr. Dominik Büchi, Chur, Switzerland.

The patient came to Dr. Thomas Truninger for an esthetic rehabilitation. She was specially bothered by the large black triangles in the anterior maxilla.

A challenging case with congenitally missing teeth involving orthodontics, orthognatic surgery, implantology and prosthetics. This case was treated by PD Dr. Ronald Jung from the University of Zurich.

Female patient (*1977) treated by Dr. D. Büchi (2009-2011). Functional and aesthetic rehabilitation of the anterior maxillary teeth with full-ceramic restorations.

Cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) has become an important tool for diagnostics and planning in implant dentistry. This module explains you all the important aspects of the CBCT.

When planning a treatment for a given patient, it is of paramount importance to understand the specific personal wishes of the patient and to plan accordingly. Generally speaking, patients desire to be in good health, to have adequate function for mastication and speaking, and pleasing esthetics. In order to reach the patient’s desires – in particular in complex situations – a structured approach to treatment planning and to execution of therapy is necessary. This module explains and guides you through such a structured approach.

In every clinical situation, which is scheduled for an implant placement, a decision needs to be taken in regards to the right time after tooth extraction to insert the implant. In this module you are going to learn all the important decision-making factors (anatomical, esthetical, clinical, radiographical and patient centered) to chose the correct timing for implant placement after tooth extraction.

In this module, Dr. Thomas G. Wilson, Jr., presents a variety of post-operative complications, discusses their prevention as well as treatment. Dr. Wilson’s lessons covers the spectrum from the initial consultation through long-term follow up.

Healthy peri-implant soft tissues hold an important role in long-term implant success and in the prevention of peri-implantitis. In this module, the handling of the soft tissues after implant placement is being discussed. Dr. Otto Zuhr explains uncoverage techniques for submucosally healed implants (abutment connection), both for esthetic and non-esthetic sites. Clinical procedures to improve soft tissue conditions at transmucosal implants are also being explained.

When restoring implants with fixed crown and bridgework, the clinician faces a variety of implant abutments to choose from: Abutments made of different materials (metal or ceramics) and fabricated with different techniques (cast or CAD/CAM abutments). In this module, these treatment options are discussed in detail, including their esthetic, mechanical and biological impact and long-term performance.

For the prosthetic restoration of single tooth implants, a variety of treatment options exists: Metal or ceramic abutments, screw-retained or cemented crowns, all-ceramic or metal-ceramic crowns etc. This module will guide you through these treatment options and help you to take evidence-based decisions.
