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.

Contents - History - Emdogain Application - Incision - Periosteal Incision - Root Smoothing - Suture Technique - PrefGel Application Synopsis: Regenerative periodontal surgery with Emdogain enamel matrix protein: The goal of regenerative periodontal surgery is to rebuild destroyed periodontal structures. Bone transplants, bone replacement materials, and nonresorbable and resorbable membranes have been and still are being used. In a new therapeutic approach to periodontal regeneration, the root surface is conditioned using an enamel matrix protein derivative (Emdogain, Biora). The protein complex stimulates the regeneration of root cement, which in turn leads to the regeneration of bone and collagen fibers. Since the early 1980's, Professor Lars Hammerström's Swedish research team has performed extensive research and studies on this method and its mode of action. Emdogain is now used for treatment of vertical bone defects and furcation defects. The exposed root surface is first carefully scaled using handheld instruments or a rotating, fine-grain diamond drill. PrefGel EDTA suspension (Biora) is then applied for 2 minutes, then thoroughly rinsed with physiological saline solution. The EDTA suspension serves to remove the smear layer and opens the dentinal tubules, leading to improved binding of Emdogain to the root surface. Emdogain is applied to the blood- and saliva-free root surface immediately after rinsing. Finally, the wound is sutured closed.

Contents - Laser - Basic Concepts - Principles of Fluorescence Measurement - Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy - Surgical Periodontal Therapy - Treatment of Cervical Dentin Hypersensitivity Synopsis The primary goal of periodontal therapy is to remove bacteria-laden dental plaque otherwise that will lead to progressive decay. In addition to the classic forms of periodontal therapy, laser modalities have also been proposed in recent years. The Er:YAG laser appears to be the most promising laser system for the treatment of marginal periodontitis. Several studies have demonstrated this laser's excellent ability to remove subgingival calculus without producing thermal effects in adjacent tissues. In addition, controlled clinical studies have shown that the Er:YAG laser leads to a signifi cant increase in clinical attachment in both nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy. Preliminary clinical results indicate that this minimally invasive tool permits instrumentation of very deep and fl at pockets (eg, when removing root cement or in patients with increased gingival recession) without injuring hard and soft dental tissues. This live operation video demonstrates use of the Er:YAG laser for both nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy.

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.

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

In this module Profs. Mariano Sanz and David Herrera will provide you detailed information on the elements of non-surgical periodontal therapy and on the clinical process to provide this therapy to patients affected by periodontal disease. Evidence-based information is illustrated with interesting clinical examples.

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.
