Periodontitis case with acute pain and furcation involvement, fixed reconstructions on teeth, implants and tooth-implant combination.

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.

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.

Tooth extraction, once a simple and straightforward surgical procedure, should be performed with the acknowledgement that ridge reduction will follow and that further clinical steps should be considered to compensate for it. Prof. Mauricio Araujo will provide you with detailed information on the basic principles anatomic changes after tooth extraction and of clinical aspects of ridge alterations after tooth extraction with and without implant placement.

When a tooth is considered to be irrational to treat and needs to be extracted every dentist needs to take decisions on whether to let the socket heal spontaneously with a blood clot or whether to perform alveolar ridge preservation procedures. In this module you are going to learn all the important decision-making factors and the clinical handling after tooth extraction to chose either between spontaneous healing after tooth extraction or immediate implant placement or alveolar ridge preservation procedures.

In this module Prof. Christer Dahlin explains the principles of minor bone regeneration procedures. The focus is on the biologic principles of GBR, the importance and the choice of membranes, the characteristics of different bone substitute materials and the potential future developments.

Various factors may cause major bone loss resulting in functional and esthetic problems. In this module, Prof. Hendrik Terheyden reviews the mechanisms and consequences of bone resorption and explains the treatment options for specific situations in partially edentulous and edentulous patients.

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.

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.

This patient treated by Dr. Büchi came to our office because he was bothered by the low esthetics and masticatory performance of his dental works.

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.
