Welcome to the first module.
This is the first stop of our deep dive
in the world of implant dentistry.
Who would be better to welcome you
to the world of implants than one of the pioneers,
Professor Niklaus Lang.
Listen to him presenting the essence
of implant dentistry distilled through
his 45 years of experience and straight from his heart!
Later on, another world class researcher and teacher,
Professor Hammerle from Zurich
will guide you through the biomechanics
and implant selection principles.
We'll then get inside implant socket
where Professor Ivanovski, a periodontist
and leading researcher in tissue engineering,
will take us step by step and cell by cell,
through the amazing biological events
that make osseointegration possible.
Together with Dr. Janda from Sweden,
we'll see why a tooth will always be better
than an implant but also how close to nature
we can get with our technology today.
Towards the end of the week, we have a special treat for you.
We'll discuss about your first implant
and get you started with preparations.
And last but not least, you'll get to meet your patient.
Yes you held correctly, your patient will expect
a lot from you in these five weeks.
No time to waste… so Ladies and Gentlemen,
I now invite Professor Lang to the stage.
