 Oliver Brix trained in dental laboratory technology from 1985-1989
after which he has worked in various dental laboratories and
practices specialising in the following fields: Aesthetics and
function; PFM ceramics and all-ceramics; Biomechanical design
of occlusal surfaces - Electroplating - Implants. From 1990-1998
he participated in numerous advanced education programmes at
home and abroad. Since 1994 he has undertaken freelance work for
various dental practices that specialise in functional and aesthetic
fixed dentures. From 1997 he has collaborated with
Dr.H.Mayer/K.Stryczek Frankfurt/M Practice specialising in
implantology, mucogingival surgery and aesthetic dentistry moving on to his own
laboratory in 2002 in Wiesbaden. Since 1993 he has been a freelance instructor and
lecturer for professional publications: Quintessenz Dentallabor, Zahntechnik Magazin
and Teamwork Dental dialogue. He has lectured internationally and given courses on
aesthetics and ceramics. He is Guest lecturer: Ivoclar Vivadent AG and Ivoclar Vivadent
Germany, since 1997 has been a Member of the dental laboratory working group of
Düsseldorf, since 2000 a Board member of DGÄZ (German association of aesthetic dentistry) and in March 2001 the Author of “Fundamentals of aesthetics”.

State of the Art Aesthetics - A systematic way to success
This practice-centred master lecture focuses on the fundamental elements of the
aesthetics of restorations. To reach a perfect result and harmony, the knowledge of
natural relations and structures is as important as the communication between dentists
and technicians. This lecture will address very comprehensively the entire topics from the
preparation to long-term provisionals and the way to achieve the final ceramic work.
Many clinical cases from single units to full mouth reconstructions on implants will be
shown, demonstrating the efforts and results of teamwork. An overview of contemporary
materials, such as zirconium and techniques will also be included.

Status Quo of functional metal free reconstructions
During the past decade manufacturers of ceramic veneering materials have made great
efforts to improve ceramic based material. But metal free restorations cover a wide
spectrum of indications.
The functional and esthetical potentials of pressable ceramics, aluminum oxide- and
zircon oxide-ceramics are well investigated and published; they display an essential
production factor for dental-laboratories.
Advantages of these technologies and new ceramics are time wise efficiency, cost
effectiveness, aesthetics and the wide range of indication compared to traditional
ceramics.
The Press-to-metal technique combines the classical manufacturing technology of cast
metal framework and the functionality and aesthetics of traditional Ceramics-Layering
without their attached disadvantages of shrinkage.
This presentation, based on clinical examples, will demonstrate the range of application of
the different ceramic-systems and explain their potential incombination with implant
based comprehensive functional restorations.

 Birger Fondell has been working as a dental technician in Sweden
since 1966 and running his own small-size dental laboratory since
1972. During the years he has become a very experienced and skilled
all-round technician. Birger has been working with implants for 35
years. The University of Gothenburg/Department of Periodontology/
Professor Jan Lindhe and his team as well as Professor Per-Ingvar
Branemark/the Branemark Institute used him as a special technician
when developing real teeth stabilised with the implant bridge, as well
as the first single implant (later known as CeraOne). Since Birger met
the Dr John Besford/Ruth Bourke team from the UK in 1998, he has experienced the
advantages of removable dentures.

Removable dentures attached to implants
Why removable dentures attached to implants instead of fixed bridge constructions?
In Sweden we have a very long experience of making upper jaw fixed implant bridge
constructions. For the patient the most important thing is the aesthetics, while the
problems on fixed bridges for the dental team mostly are related to cleaning, speech
and/or food getting stuck. These problems can be avoided by choosing a removable
denture attached to the implants. This presentation will show how different cases have
been solved as for choice of technique and materials.

Predictable results in implant prosthetics
Starting from backward planning with wax up and prosthetic oriented CT-Planning to
obtain good results in implant positions. Ways of soft tissue treatment and the influence of
a natural emergence profile for the gingiva around implant-crowns. Concepts for
predictable results in complex cases with a big loss of the hard and soft tissue-what can
we do to get an absolute passive fit for the implant suprastructures and how can we reach
prefect esthetic results and a good compliance of the patient. Pro and contra indication of
fixed restorations for cases with a high loss of hard and soft tissue or when it is best for
the whole team to plan a removable restoration.
