Esthetic Master Course by Buser & Friends
✦ On-Site – 26 CE credits
✦ Online – 21 CE credits
GENERAL INFORMATION
For more than 25 years, implant esthetics has been a dominating topic in implant dentistry for partially edentulous patients. As we all know, implant therapy in the anterior maxilla is challenging due to the high esthetic demands of the patients and difficult anatomical situations with bone and/or soft tissue deficiencies, which are often present in the esthetic zone. These defects are more often seen today, since post-extraction implant placement has become common in daily practice. For the surgical portion of therapy, several well-documented treatment options are available today,
The 3-day Master Course is again offered by a superb faculty with 12 well-known master clinicians and top scientists, including 6 world-famous guest speakers, such as Stephen Chen (University of Melbourne), Sascha Jovanovic (Los Angeles), Ronald Jung (University of Zurich), Irena Sailer & Vincent Fehmer (University of Geneva) and last but not least Urs Belser (Geneva). The local speakers from the University of Bern include Dieter Bosshardt, Ramona Buser, Jordi Caballé-Seranno, Toni Sculean and the two Course Directors Danny Buser and Manrique Fonseca. They will comprehensively present in 19 lectures every aspect of esthetic implant therapy for the handling of single tooth gaps and extended edentulous spaces in the anterior maxilla.
- 19 LECTURES
- 3 LIVE SURGERIES
- 3 HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS
- HYBRID SETUP
