From Tooth Preparation to Comprehensive Rehabilitation – Modern Prosthodontics Without Compromise
Modern prosthodontics requires far more than perfect tooth preparation. Successful treatment depends on accurate diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the conscious selection of appropriate techniques and materials.
During this three-day training, you will learn a comprehensive approach to the restoration of natural teeth and implant-supported rehabilitation – from single-tooth restorations to complex cases requiring close collaboration between the orthodontist, periodontist, and prosthodontist.
The programme combines lectures with intensive hands-on workshops, allowing you to practise key preparation techniques and clinical procedures used in modern prosthodontics.
What will you learn during the training?
- How to confidently determine whether a case is suitable for a direct or indirect restoration.
- How to select the appropriate preparation design for a specific clinical situation.
- Understand the differences between Vertiprep and BOPT preparations and their clinical indications.
- How to plan comprehensive treatment with both aesthetic and functional considerations in mind.
- How to collaborate effectively with orthodontists and periodontists during interdisciplinary treatment.
- How to plan implant-prosthetic treatment correctly – from three-dimensional implant positioning to the final restoration.
- How to manage and design soft tissues around implants while minimising the risk of complications.
- How to fabricate provisional restorations and customise prosthetic components in implant dentistry.
Hands-On Workshops
A significant part of the training is dedicated to practical hands-on sessions. Participants will perform, among other procedures:
- anterior veneer preparations,
- vonlay and onlay preparations,
- full-coverage crown preparation,
- Vertiprep and BOPT preparations,
- fabrication of provisional restorations for implants in the anterior region,
- customisation of healing abutments,
- design and modification of provisional bridges.
Each procedure will be performed under the supervision of the lecturers, with a focus on the most common clinical mistakes and practical tips that can be immediately implemented in everyday clinical practice.
Why Attend?
This training has been designed for clinicians who want to plan prosthodontic treatment consciously and make evidence-based clinical decisions with biomechanics, aesthetics, and long-term predictability in mind.
The programme integrates tooth preparation, prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and interdisciplinary treatment, providing a comprehensive perspective on patient rehabilitation as a continuous process – from the initial diagnosis and treatment planning to the final restoration.
