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.

Peri-implantitis is a highly relevant topic for every dentist and surgeon placing or restoring implants. In this module, the controversy about the actual prevalence of peri-implant infections, the correct diagnosis and the right treatment approach are discussed in detail, based on the available scientific evidence.

In this module, Prof. Bjarni Pjetursson will provide you an insight into the technical complications that you will encounter at implant-supported reconstructions. He will lecture about complications such as fractures of the veneering ceramic or framework, abutment and screw loosenings and fractures, and implant fractures.

In this module, Prof. Hom Lay Wang will provide you a detailed analysis of the long-term results of implant-supported prostheses and discuss the factors that influence the survival and complication rates. Evidence-based information is illustrated with many interesting clinical examples.

Patient wants an esthetic improvement of her smile. The periodontitis has created black interdental holes and long teeth.

Male patient (*1969) with myoarthropathy is looking for an esthetic rehabilitation of his teeth, which are severely damaged by attrition, abrasion and erosion.

Prof. Niklaus Lang provides you with the background knowledge of osseointegration, the basis of implant dentistry. He presents and summarizes the relevant animal and human studies on osseointegration, discusses histological evidence and shows impressive documentation of bone formation around dental implants.

In this module, Prof. Pascal Valentini will give you a detailed insight into the topic of sinus floor elevation. He discusses important aspects of sinus floor elevation including: anatomical and physiological considerations as preparation for surgery, patient selection, diagnostics (CBCT), surgical technique, grafting material and complication management. These aspects are nicely illustrated by a lot of clinical cases and surgical videos.
