Slides from the course on botulinum toxin in neuroanatomy at the UKE

Dear colleagues,

As promised, here are all the slides from the Botulinum Toxin in Dentistry course for download, so you can review the content. Attention: This version from October 31, 2026, includes new anatomy slides, new ultrasound images from new handheld devices, and, following the course on October 30, typical injection points marked with crosses for individual therapy based on patient complaints during ultrasound-controlled injection. I have also integrated the use of CMDforms. As announced, I have prepared the file as a handout with 2 slides per page, making it clearer for you yet still easy to read.

I described the indication algorithm to you during the course. For implementation in your practice, proceed as follows:

Evidence of the presence of CMD|myopathy, at minimum by means of a clinical functional analysis, which can be recorded for the digital practice using CMDfact, module CMDstatus,
Evidence of probable bruxism according to the bruxism guideline via a positive Bruxism Screening Index (BSI); in the digital practice with CMDfact, module CMDbrux.
Establishing a structured diagnosis, implementation in CMDfact, module DiagnosePilot.
Effective and legally secure patient education with the guideline-compliant informed consent form from dentaConcept, specifically the Botulinum Toxin for CMD/Bruxism consent form
The patient information sheet is now also available in color in the CMDforms software -> you can order the software and the patient information sheet here.

Last but not least, you will find the materials list in the download entry on this website below.

Good luck with the implementation!

Oliver Ahlers

P.S. The password is the code number of the cadaver on which we practiced the injection under ultrasound guidance, 4 digits without slashes or hyphens.

Downloads for the dentaConcept webinar on mandibular movement analysis

Dear colleagues,

What more positive feedback could there be than someone asking others in the same household to be quiet during a webinar because they want to listen to the end? Thank you very much for your focused attention—95% stayed until the end.

As promised, you can download the award-winning publication on movement analysis from CMF from my practice website, as the author’s website. I mentioned the password to you. The first three letters in uppercase (“capital”) and the rest in lowercase (“small”).
You can find the relevant Instrumental Functional Analysis guideline on the DGFDT website.
For the condylar movement trajectory analysis, to assess coordination with Gamma Dental Cadiax, you only need to know how to configure the Cadiax software. You will find these instructions attached.
With the Zebris JMA Optics, you need the CMDfact Interactor module to obtain reports that help explain the required curve patterns. CMF_13_04_Ahlers.indd.
You can order CMDtrace here, also as a trial version for a full 3 months.

Kind regards

Slides from the Online Course on Tooth Wear Diagnostics for the Saxony Dental Association

Dear colleagues,

As promised, here you will find all the slides from the lecture of the course for the Saxony Dental Association for download. I heard that this entry was not visible for some devices, so I have re-uploaded it and, by way of compensation, included additional slides that there was no time for during the online course. The password is the one announced in the course; it relates to your hometown, first letter capitalized, the rest lowercase. As announced, I have prepared the file as a handout, always with 2 slides per page, making it clearer for you yet still easy to read.

For implementation in your practice, I have left the QR codes in the presentation and also included a few clickable links.
First of all, the DGFDT findings sheets are important for you, as the tooth wear screening and tooth wear status are officially recognized as high-level scientific services. The same applies, by the way, to manual structural analysis as a supplement to clinical functional analysis; someone asked about that during the discussion. Here is that link: DGFDT / DGZMK findings sheets.

To ensure economic efficiency in practice, it is important that the German Dental Association has formally recognized the three services Bruxism Screening Index, Tooth Wear Screening, and Tooth Wear Status as independent services. You can find them in the Analog List in Section J.

For implementation in the digital practice, you can find the various software modules here:

Clinical functional analysis for the digital practice, recordable with CMDfact, CMDstatus module,
Bruxism Screening Index (BSI), digitally recordable with CMDfact, CMDbrux module.
Establishing a structured diagnosis based on the data recorded in CMDfact with the DiagnosePilot module.
Effective and legally secure patient information with a guideline-compliant informed consent form
-> Software and patient information forms can be ordered here.

And if you would like to deepen your knowledge through further training of this kind, you can find offers under Continuing Education – CMD-Centrum Hamburg-Eppendorf.

Wishing you much success with the implementation and warm regards up the Elbe from Hamburg!

As announced, I have created the file as a handout, always with 2 slides per page, so it is clearer for you but still easy to read.

To ensure economic efficiency in the practice, it is important that the German Dental Association has successfully completed its tasks and recognized both services as independent services. You can find them in the list of analogous services in Section J.

For implementation in the digital practice, you can find the various software modules here:

Clinical functional analysis for the digital practice, recordable with CMDfact, CMDstatus module,
Bruxism Screening Index (BSI), digitally recordable with CMDfact, CMDbrux module.
Establishing a structured diagnosis based on the data recorded in CMDfact with the DiagnosePilot module.
Effective and legally secure patient information with a guideline-compliant informed consent form

Eppendorf Centric Registration Templates – Manufacturing Instructions V.1 (no password)

Below you will find illustrated instructions for the dental fabrication of the Eppendorf centric registration template. Please note that this illustration reflects the status of the first edition of the workbook “Restorative Dentistry with the Artex System”. Compared to these instructions, three important details were improved with the publication of the second edition of the book in 1998:
– three additional stops on the upper side of the plate regio 12-22 as “tilt indicators”
– marking of the upper midline on the plastic plate
– posterior stops on the upper side in the molar region on the last molars!
These three changes considerably improve the usability of the plate registrations. Therefore, please be sure to inform your dental technician of these changes. The second edition of the book is also available again.

Trick film on the preparation of ceramic inlays (no password!)

In addition to the publication in Int J Comp. Dent. I have developed animated films with my colleagues Dr. Blunck, Prof. Frankenberger, Dr. Hajto and Prof. Pröbster that show the procedure for preparing ceramic inlays. I also showed these in the seminar. Dr. Hajto was responsible for turning them into animations. A compilation of some of the films shown in the lecture is freely available on the Internet. Click on this link. The films have been produced in a manufacturer-neutral manner. Komet Dental has requested and received permission to show the appropriate grinders and is posting the film on the Internet, but is neither the author nor the client of the film – just to give you an idea of how it works.

Yours, Oliver Ahlers

Study on the durability of semi-permanent PMMA occlusal veneers

Certain situations require treatment with restoration of the tooth contours, the tooth volumes and the corrected (re-)adjustment of the jaw joints to a physiological position. Such treatments are rare and extremely difficult because they require the complete – and correct – adjustment of the jaw position in a single step, without overloading the body’s ability to adapt. This is all the more challenging if the patient has an increased sensitivity to changes in tooth contact. The procedure was developed around the 2000s in Hamburg and Munich, with the core element of recontouring all teeth in non-occlusion with a physiological temporomandibular joint position in ONE step using indirect restorations – and then replacing these in groups with prepared dental ceramic restorations in a later step. The results of a study on the durability of this material from…
