The webinar will be structured around the presentation of a clinical case. The first 15 minutes will be dedicated to the presentation of the case up to the diagnostic phase.

This will be followed by approximately 15 minutes of questions and answers focused on the diagnosis and the description of the case. During this interactive discussion, participants will also have the opportunity to suggest and discuss possible treatment plans.

Afterwards, around 15 minutes will be dedicated to the presentation of how the treatment was actually carried out.

The final 15 minutes will be reserved for further questions, answers, comments, and interactive discussion.

The total duration of the evening will therefore be approximately one hour:

• 15 minutes for the case presentation up to diagnosis
• 15 minutes for discussion and proposed treatment planning
• 15 minutes for the presentation of the executed treatment
• 15 minutes for final questions, answers, and comments
