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 Vertical Freedom BOPT concept 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 Vertical Freedom BOPT concept will be presented by Dr. Stefano Conti and performed by all the participants.

100% hands-on

Who is this course suitable for?

icon

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

icon

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

icon

General dentists

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

icon

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
