Complex dental restorations – Exploring the limits in a team approach

Advanced dental training within the framework of the IFG in Hamburg

Course contents:
Complex rehabilitations with a change in the vertical dimension of the occlusion pose a particular challenge to the restorative team and require a structured approach to treatment planning and the primary definition of esthetics and function with the active involvement of the patient. Due to the availability of polymer-based CAD/CAM materials, innovative treatment strategies in the pre-treatment phase can be used to conduct a longer “analog” trial run to explore the treatment goal. In each step, the patient remains actively involved and at the centre of the action.
