Focus is on implant prosthetics. The practical part includes

• an implant-supported full ceramic bridge on ceramic abutments manufactured by CAD/CAM, zircon framework is veneered with an individual front layer technique
• a secondarily screwed bridge in lateral tooth area with parallel milled abutment and individual attachment
• single crown implants – occlusally screw-retained/cemented aesthetic BeCe PRESS veneering in lateral area

The theoretical part includes

• detailed information on the articulator technique
• occlusal concepts on implants
• materials and material processing
