Abstract:

 

Vertical Freedom

From Tooth to Implant: B.O.P.T. and Prama

The presentation focuses on a new Prosthetic protocol for vertical preparation

of the tooth, ( BOPT-Vertical Freedom concept) and on a new concept of implant, designed to work in synergy with biological factors in achieving bone crestal and soft tissue stability for long term esthetics.

All the steps to performe V.F ( B.O.P.T.concept), from tooth preparation to final crown cementation, will be analyzed with clinical cases.

Furthermore, the advantages of a minimally invasive adhesive dentistry, ( Minimal Vertical Prep -No Prep ) with  new trends in Anterior Indirects, will be uncovered.

Biodynamic Soft Tissue shaping by using a new emergence profile of the implant will be highlight ( BOPT concept and intramucosal implant)

Implant neck/connection, 3D positioning, tissue friendly emergence profiles with an accurate analysis of STA around an implant supported restoration will be discussed.

Learning objectives

The main goal of the presentation is to give the practitioners useful techniques to apply

immediately after the course, increasing quality and predictability of their work and

new protocols enabling them to achieve function and aesthetics in everyday dentistry

with a minimally invasive approach

Delegates will know how to:

Learn how to performe the B.O.P.T. technique ( Vertical freedom Concept)

( tooth preparation – provisional relining – impression – final cementation)

Understand the advantages of an Intramucosal Implant

Learn how to work ( biological and prosthetic algorithm) with Intramucosal Implant

Understand how to master Papillae and Facial Gingival Dynamics around natural

teeth and around intramucosal implants

LECTURE

B.O.P.T Philosophy

BOPT concept:

Limitations and advantages

Vertical vs Horizontal tooth preparation

Vertical preparation of the tooth:

  • Prosthetic approach and new Biological Width
  • Gingival margin and harmony retrieval
  • Crown margin and periodontal response
  • Intrasulcular mapping
  • Tooth preparation
  • Provisional relining (step by step)
  • Cementation

New emergence profile

  • New PCEJ
  • Emergence profile and prosthetic contours
  • Adaptation profile and soft tissue response

Minimally invasive adhesive dentistry

( Minimal Vertical Prep -No Prep )

Additive Veneers and New pCEJ

Think Thin Casting Tecnique

DSD

Mock-up

Lab Procedures

Try-in

Cementation

IMPLANTS : the Intramucosal concept

  • Prosthetic emergence profile of Implant/Abutment
  • B.O.P.T implant vs natural tooth
  • Bone level and Soft tissue level Implants
  • Intramucosal Implants
  • BIOLOGICAL-PROSTHETIC ALGORITHM:
  • BIOLOGICAL APPROACH:
  • Soft tissue thickness and STA
  • Simplified implant placement
  • Apical-coronal freedom
  • Vertical platform switching
  • Soft tissue thickening and stability
  • Biodynamic Soft Tissue shaping concept
  • PROSTHETIC APPROACH:
  • Implant Position and Prosthetic Solution
  • BOPT concept
  • Prosthetic finishing area
  • Implant and prosthetic integration
  • Long term esthetics
