Implantology and oral surgery are two important elements of dental, oral and maxillofacial medicine, and in their view they undoubtedly support and complement each other. Implantology is one of the major growth areas. No other area has developed as strongly in recent years from a diagnostic, therapeutic and scientific perspective. Other factors such as demographic development, the multimorbidity of older patients and the constantly changing spectrum of medicine with new treatment options also place new and ever higher demands on surgical treatment. Nor should the needs of the patient be forgotten. The majority of patients still want holistic treatment from their family dentist, despite the general trend towards specialisation. It should therefore be a matter of course for the practice of today to successfully offer implantology and oral surgery.

Anyone who has ever dealt with implantology and oral surgery wants to expand their intellectual and manual range of skills. Dentists should not immediately push themselves to their limits, but rather undertake to a well-founded scientific learning process. The transfer of secure concepts and alternatives, combined with manual skills, should enable dentists to meet the demands of successful implantation and surgery even in difficult situations and to intervene confidently in the event of complications. This programme meets the contemporary and increased surgical requirements. You, too, can meet the expectations of a modern society and qualify yourself for the future.

The knowledge of how inflammatory periodontal destructive processes occur has been deepened and expanded in recent years. It is the tissue response caused by microbial irritation from subgingival biofilms that initiates the destruction of the marginal periodontium and also shows systemic effects as chronic periodontitis.

New therapy approaches have therefore been developed to supplement mechanical therapy. These have made enormous progress in terms of methodology and instrumentation. Due to the contemporary demand for the protection of tissue with regeneration potential, the generous periodontal flap operations have been replaced by delicate, reconstructive and repairing methods that are able to meet even the highest aesthetic standards. However, there are limits to both perio therapy and endotherapy. Teeth are removed and replaced by implants.

The primary requirement for the correct insertion and problem-free retention of implants in edentulous jaw sections is favourable assessment of the quality and quantity of the alveolar bone and the thickness of the mucosa using appropriate modern methods. If therapeutically necessary, the jawbone and/or peri-implant mucosa must be augmented beforehand using plastic perio surgery methods to ensure that implants are perfectly anchored.

Periodontal therapy measures and implants invariably require personal and professional aftercare. Modern mechanical, hydrodynamic and chemical aids are included in daily oral hygiene according to the patient’s manual skills.
