Ceramic in implant dentistry
Prof. Chevalier will discuss which ceramics are used in implant surgery. After a general introduction of the various ceramic options available, Prof. Chevalier will provide a deeper understanding of zirconia ceramics for dental implants. The manufacturing processes as well as the different surface modifications treatments are explained.

Using ceramics in surgery
Prof. Hämmerle and Prof. Jung will explain the patient benefits of using one-piece implants. The options available during surgery will be covered as well as osseointegration and long-term clinical predictability. Dr. Hermann will explain how the zirconia two-piece implants may be used as an alternative to titanium implants, in relation to the specific aspects of the abutment connection.

Ceramic and prosthetic solutions
Prof. Sailer and Prof. Beuer will provide an overview of various abutments in terms of materials, the types of hybrid abutments, their stability and connection options. A focus is given to implant supported reconstructions, ranging from the single unit to multiple unit reconstructions of crowns and FDPs. Topics include the methods used in impression taking of one and two-piece implants, when adopting conventional or digital techniques. As well as, how various abutment materials and screws for two-piece implants are used when combining the implant and the abutment.
In addition, the techniques used for restorations on ceramic implants and challenges in cementation are discussed.

CERALOG^®System Introduction
The presentation provides an overview over the system components of the CERALOG^® System, including usage of the screw-retained prosthetic solutions with the CERALOG^® Hexalobe implant based on the innovative PEKK abutment and the fully customized DEDICAM^® abutment.

CERALOG^®Surgery
Dr. Wiggers and Dr. Beretta present the specific steps required in surgery when using the implants CERALOG^® Monobloc implant and the CERALOG^® Hexalobe implant. Each specific step will be explored in detail with reference to relevant clinical cases.

CERALOG^®Prosthetics
M. Knackmuss will guide participants along the individual steps required to take an impression with either the CERALOG^® Hexalobe or the CERALOG^® Monobloc implant. Restoring the PEKK abutment for the screw-retained restoration or using the DEDICAM zirconia abutment are described specifically.

After the theoretical module, you are assessed online prior to commencing the practical phase. Assessment is done via an online questionnaire covering topics from material science to restorations using the CERALOG^® implant.

In preparation for the first virtual small classroom, participants upload their individual clinical case-plan onto the CERAMIC EXCELLENCE CASE PLATFORM a week prior. Each case is reviewed by a clinical expert and discussed in-depth among the group of participants. During the case discussions, participants will benefit from the knowledge exchange between the experts and amongst themselves.

Following the classroom, participants will perform their surgery, each individually, in their own dental practice, using the CERALOG^® ceramic implant system.

After surgery, the documented results are uploaded onto the CERAMIC EXCELLENCE CASE PLATFORM again. A final review and feedback between participants and experts will be held in the second virtual classroom, post-surgery.

Both classrooms are held as webinars.
