Composites enable the fabrication of high quality functional and aesthetic restorations and have largely substituted amalgam as filling material. In this presentation, Dr. Bas A. C. Loomans describes the survival rate of composite restorations compared with amalgam fillings and then deals with the…

Dr. Richard Lazzara, Boston/USA, is performing an implant insertion combined with a sinus lift in the first maxillary quarter by using several techniques and systems. The teeth of the female patient had been extracted 3 weeks ago.

Senior physician Dr. Stefan Fickl talks on the microsurgical and minimally invasive techniques in the field of plastic periodontal surgery. This mainly involves elective surgery to create a physiological soft tissue anatomy in the aesthetic zone.

In this presentation, Professor Sculean (Bern) demonstrates coverage of recession defects using the modified tunnel technique. In this case, coverage is to be performed of multiple Miller class I recession defects in the second quadrant.

In this highly difficult operation Prof. Marc Hürzeler, Germany, inserts an implant into the frontal region with simultaneously placing a mandibula and a subepithelial soft tissue graft.

The main goal of this operation is to place and implant to replace the missing upper right lateral incisor and to overcome bone atrophy by augmenting the defect with bone of bovine origin and a sub-epithelial graft.

This lecture from Dr. Griffin explains his concept of placing implants in the aesthetic zone. Difficult cases and even one case of an implant removal are shown.

The indication for replacement of the filling at tooth 14 is secondary caries. Using a rubber dam, the existing filling is carefully removed and the caries is excavated. After the application of an interproximal matrix and conditioning, the filling is placed using the increment (layer) technique. Finally the…

Furcation defects and how to treat them are the focus of Professor Dr. Anton Sculean, University of Bern/Switzerland. He emphasises the importance of clinical diagnostics and correct classification of the furcation defect to consider a realistic estimation of therapy success.
