Masterclass – Welcome in the esthetic zone

This masterclass focuses on the biological and restorative principles essential for implant placement in the esthetic zone. Participants will learn how to analyze cases effectively, plan implants with 3D imaging, and utilize (semi-) guided surgery techniques to achieve predictable outcomes. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of screw-retained restorations, and key surgical and restorative concepts will be covered in depth.

Course Outline


Part 1

Introduction to esthetic guidelines, biological considerations, and restorative factors critical for successful implant placement.
(Coffee Break)

Part 2

Techniques in backward planning for case analysis, integration of a digital workflow, and strategies for immediate implant placement.
(Lunch Break)

Part 3 (Hands-On)

Practical application of implant placement in a fresh extraction socket, socket preservation, soft tissue grafting, and implant techniques in healed sites. Suture techniques and materials will also be practiced.
(Coffee Break)

Part 4 (Continued Hands-On)

Final practice session covering the restorative protocol, material selection, maintenance considerations, and an interactive Q&A session. Key Learning Outcomes Participants will gain hands-on experience with implant placement and be able to apply biological, restorative, and digital workflows to achieve optimal esthetic outcomes.
