Promising techniques such as the modified coronally advanced tunnel (MCAT) or laterally closed tunnel (LCT) in combination with a subepithelial connective tissue graft or the NovoMatrix® could be trained during hands-on exercises on a pig's jaw. To reduce patient morbidity, the use of an acellular dermal matrix is advantageous when compared to a connective tissue graft. In the full-day workshop, PD Dr. Peter Gehrke, Ludwigshafen, and DT Carsten Fischer, Frankfurt a. M., explained how, on the sound basis of "analog knowledge", the use of computer-assisted manufacturing technologies for the fabrication of implant-supported dental restorations can become a daily reality for many users in both the laboratory and dental practice. The speakers described the application-oriented advantages of using these and implementing them safely. They demonstrated process-relevant steps, decision criteria as well as communication channels which are necessary for a forward-looking strategy and a holistic understanding of all therapeutic areas to achieve the desired treatment success. Dr. Michael Berthold and MDT Otto Prandtner, both Munich, focused on soft tissue support in the workshop. Not only does the precise planning of the implant position play an important role, but also the predictable placement of an esthetic suprastructure in terms of backward planning. The shaping of the transgingival area is essential for the guided tissue healing of an immediate restoration with consideration for the biological criteria and is easily and conveniently achieved with the individual CAD/CAM fabricated PEEK gingiva formers from DEDICAM. Decisive for the success of this concept are a primary stable inserted implant, a precise transfer of the implant position as well as the digitally planned and pre-surgically created suprastructure. "My first implant" – in the introductory workshop for assistant physicians and newcomers to implant dentistry, Dr. Jörg-Martin Ruppin, Penzberg, gave the participants comprehensive insights into the practical techniques and methods of modern treatment concepts - fundamental knowledge for implant dentistry, so to speak. Assisted by Melvin Albert, application consultant at Camlog, the practical cases shown were combined with surgical and prosthetic hands-on exercises in a comprehensible manner for all participants. Pre-congress workshops at the ORIS - practical and inspiring » The pre-congress workshops are a permanent fixture at the Oral Reconstruction Foundation's congresses or symposia. In familiar fashion, they were held on Thursday and offered a broad range of topics in the areas of clinical issues and product application. Exclusively for dental students and assistant dentists, , Forchheim, held a workshop on the topic "from a newcomer to a professional in implant dentistry". In order to implement implant dentistry as an important discipline in the practice and thus become a major contributor to the success of the practice, he discussed the esthetic aspects of implant dentistry as well as incision and suture techniques, autologous tissue grafts and alternative products, planning for implant positioning, prosthetic outcome and bone augmentation techniques. In parallel, the participants applied what they had learned directly in their hands-on exercises. Bregenz, sees numerous opportunities for the COMFOUR® concept in treatment therapy when patients' financial constraints influence their decision to have implants. At this workshop, the speaker presented a simple and safe way for patients with edentulous and partially edentulous jaws to regain their vitality. He explained in detail the surgical and prosthetic procedures and used specific patient cases to illustrate the concept and planning for directly screw-retained bridges and bars. The participants took the opportunity to learn about the components of the COMFOUR® System and apply them to models. Personality is the key – Camlog, explained that knowledge of one's own personality leads to success and allows conclusions in a number of ways. "Those who can read personality structures are able to exploit their individual performance potential more efficiently and recognize that of others." Using the central instrument of motivation-oriented personality research, the participants learned to recognize what a person strives for and what is really important to him or her. The decisive factor for performance and success is the balance between the expression of the motives and the possibility of realizing them. The insights are not only applicable to one's own well-being in the workplace, but can be applied in a targeted manner to the success of the practice as a whole. In his workshop, Frankfurt a. M., focused on augmentation and corrections for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases. Soft tissue grafts to establish a keratinized mucosa and adequate soft tissue thickness have become important surgical procedures in the prevention of peri-implant disease. The speaker mainly pointed awareness to areas exhibiting a reduced width of keratinized mucosa (i.e., < 2 mm) or thin soft tissue phenotypes. In the four-hour course, participants learned different flap designs for soft tissue augmentation procedures around implants, connective tissue graft harvesting and handling, as well as the clinical management of mucosal recessions.
