BIG VERTI PREP COURSE

Manipulating soft tissue with vertical tooth preparation (BOPT vertical freedom concept)

Language: English

Location: BG Academy, Prague, Czech Republic

Nearest date: June 27-28, 2025

NEW ONE

Intro

The main goal of the course is to provide practitioners with useful techniques that can be applied immediately after attending, enhancing the quality and predictability of their work.
In two days, you will learn how to manipulate and dominate soft tissue with a minimally invasive approach.

It is a unique program for BOPT Vertical Freedom tooth preparation.
Hands-on exercises include vertical tooth preparation for anterior and posterior teeth as well as exercises in temporary crown relining, analog and digital impression techniques, and lab workflow.

100% practical information.
All the steps to perform the BOPT Vertical Freedom Concept will be presented by Dr. Stefano Conti and performed by all the participants.

100% hands-on

Who is this course suitable for?

Prosthodontists:

who wish to have complete control over the gingival zenith position and aim to create an ideal gingival architecture with a minimally invasive approach.

Periodontists:

who want to understand the advantages of a new prosthetic approach for maintaining stable soft tissue over time and learn how to increase and manipulate soft tissue thickness using a non-surgical approach.

General dentists:

who want advanced training in the field of aesthetic restoration and who desire to apply the technique right after the course.

Dental technicians:

who want to fully understand the final design of dental crowns with vertical preparation and wish to have complete control over the final positioning of the new prosthetic CEJ.

Feedbacks

Dr Sami Sherif BDS DMedSc, the UK

Harvard Trained Prosthodontist, Biomimetic

Maxim’s course is the finest for hands on microscopy training for intricate prosthodontics. Spread over three days he is very open with his protocols, tips and tricks.

“
I would recommend this course for a new dentist to train in the correct manner of carrying out cosmetic dentistry to an experienced specialist refining their techniques. The training is kept to a small number of doctors for the most thorough experience. Maxim makes the trip over to Czech Republic fun with the way he relates very well to his delegates with his relaxed personality and time spent outside of the course with the group.

I never considered myself any good regarding "crown/veneer" preps but course with Maksym at BELOGRAD Academy completely changed my workflow and skills.

“
The BIG prep course is one of the best courses I have ever done. I was always terrible at indirect preparations but Maxims course inspired and taught me so much that I’m now doing indirect restorations on a daily basis. The fact that it was 100% hands-on was the best part, since I could practice extensively before implementing my new skills on a real life patient.

Online and live courses by Dr. Maksym Belograd are highly recommended. Attending both I was really inspired from his concepts.

If I’d have time - I’d go to his courses. Actually we are planning few. Max uses microscope and inserts everything under rubberdam. I’d like to learn his techniques.
