Dr. Dominik Büchi performed a ridge preservation to keep the soft tissue volume. He then placed an implant 8 weeks later with simultaneous GBR. The final emergence profile was created by a fixed provisional crown.

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.

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

58-year-old woman desires a total refurbishment by reason of compromised esthetics of her front teeth and missing teeth in the upper left jaw. In addition the bridges in the mandibular left and right show chippings.

The old restorations showed several ceramic fractures and in some areas the framework was exposed. The patient's main concern was the unesthetic appearance of the anterior crowns in the maxilla due to these chippings.

Contents - Instruments and planning - Incision - Split thickness flap preparation - Harvesting connective tissue for grafting - Palatal sutures - Transplant insertion and suture - Microsurgical suture Synopsis: Microsurgical operation to repair two adjacent, exposed root surfaces. The video demonstrates step-by-step how to prepare a coronally advanced split-thickness flap with subepithelial connective tissue. To remove connective tissue from the palate, a horizontal incision is required. Ultra-precise microsurgical suturing is the key to obtaining aesthetically perfect results.

Content: Description of system and instruments. The patient had a considerable bone deficit at tooth 21. Augmentation was therefore required and was carried out using calibrated instruments. The augmentation site was prepared using instruments that matched the tools used to harvest the cylindrical bone graft at the donor site. This perfect match between the augmentation region and the bone transplant accelerated osseointegration, there by shortening the required waiting time for implant placement.

Procedure: - Sounding - Extraction of the tooth 21 - Drilling and implantation - Soft tissue preparation (split flap technique / tunnelling technique) - Harvesting of the soft tissue graft from the palatal region and immediate closure of the site - Fixation of the transplant - Application of the healing abutments - Fixation of the transplant coronally Materials: Thommen Medical Implant System: SPI Element 4,2x14, 4,5 Implant shoulder Goretex 5,0, Premilene 7,0 Sutures Thommen gingiva former
