Goal:

The main goal is to define a systematic and evidence based treatment approach, in simple as well as more complex dental rehabilitations, with the focus on defect oriented preparations and minimally invasive treatment strategies.

In this lecture you will learn:

• Case analysis and definition of treatment goals
• Selection of the ideal type of restoration and restorative material
• Minimally invasive tooth preparations
• Adhesive cementation

The lecture will present a concept for the choice of type of reconstruction and material for high aesthetic outcomes. Recently, an increasing use of ceramic materials for the fabrication of dental reconstructions can be observed. Advantages of all-ceramic materials over the traditional metal-ceramics include their tooth­ resembling colour and the enamel-like translucency.

The main limitation of ceramics is their brittleness leading to a risk for fracture of the reconstruction during clinical service. In order to reduce this risk, ceramics with increased stability were developed. Especially the high-strength ceramic zirconia seems to have a lot of potential to be applied as an alternative to metal.

Several clinical studies showed promising results of zirconia ­based tooth and implant reconstructions. For the processing of zirconia numerous computer-aided manufacturing procedures are available today. Due to the high number of restorative possibilities, the choice of the “ideal” material is getting more and more complex.

Learning objectives:

• Learn and understand the value of conventional and digital diagnostics
• Learn about new restorative options, their possibilities and limitations
• Learn to select restorative options for predictable white and pink aesthetic

She is a Member of the Executive Committee of the EAO (European Association for Osseointegration), and was recently appointed the President of the EAED (European Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry).

She is also an Active Fellow of the GNYAP (Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics). Since 2019 Irena Sailer is the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Prosthodontics and the coauthor of over 150 peer-reviewed publications as well as the books ‘Fixed Restorations: A Clinical Guide to the Selection of Materials and Fabrication Technology’ (Quintessence, 2021) and ‘Colour in Dentistry’ (Quintessence, 2017). She holds several patents on aesthetic coatings of dental/medical devices and a digital dental splint.

2) Vincent Fehmer BDT, MDT

Vincent Fehmer, MDT, received his dental technical education and degree in Stuttgart, Germany, before completing fellowships in Great Britain and the United States in Oral Design-certified dental technical laboratories. After working several years in such a laboratory in Berlin, he received his MDT degree and became the chief dental technician at the Clinic for Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics in Zurich, Switzerland. Since 2015, he has been a dental technician at the Clinic for Fixed Prosthodontics and Biomaterials in Geneva, Switzerland. He also runs his own laboratory in Lausanne.

Mr Fehmer is a Fellow of the International Team for lmplantology, an active member of the European Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (EAED), and a member of the Oral Design group as well as the European Association of Dental Technology (EADT) and the German Society of Aesthetic Dentistry (DGAZ).
He is a sought-after international speaker and has received many honors for his
work, including the Kenneth Rudd Award from the American Prosthodontic Society.

He has published more than 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals within the field of fixed prosthodontics and digital dental technology, contributed to many books, and recently coauthored the book ‘Fixed Restorations: A Clinical Guide to the Selection of Materials and Fabrication Technology’ (Quintessence, 2021). Mr Fehmer also serves
as Editor-in-Chief for the ‘International Journal of Aesthetic Dentistry’, Section Editor
for the ‘International Journal of Prosthodontics’, and co-chair for the 26thlnternational Symposium on Ceramics (June 2023). He is also the editor-in-chief of the ‘Quintessence of Dental Technology’ (Quintessence, 2023-2024).
