- How to use digital scan and impression devices most effectively and how to match their data for accurate case planning
- How to use digital devices and aids for guided implantology in practice
- How to plan cases of varying complexity using backward planning
- How to get more bone volume around the implant bed with different augmentation methods
- How to make every augmentation successful
The webinars will take place on February 14, 21 and 28, and March 14, 2022, from 17:30 to 18:15 GMT. They include a live presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A session with the following contents in separate webinars: Professor Spiels and Dr. Kernen will discuss planning and treatment of simple cases using IOS, CBCT and planning software as well as on complex cases using IOS, CBCT, EOS and planning software. Professor Nelson and PD Dr. Fretwurst will talk about basics of implant surgery and give insights into advanced implant surgery, including bone-grafting and soft tissue management.
The on-site-training will take place at the University of Freiburg from March 23-26 and will deliver insights into digital workflows in implant dentistry, prosthodontic concepts and choices of materials provided by Professor Spies, Dr. Kernen and MDT Witkowski. They will interactively discuss cases on data acquisition and backward planning of simple, advanced, and complex cases. They will also provide hands-on courses on 3D printers, milling units, and intra-oral scanners and implant planning software. In addition, treatment of risk patients and basics in implant surgery will be important topics as well as augmentation of procedures and peri-implant diseases prevention as well as bone grafting and bone-splitting techniques. Finally, there will be a tour through the university clinic followed by a discussion of surgical instruments.
