Summary

Technology is becoming increasingly essential in dentistry, and many procedures now require the use of an intraoral scanner. The goal of scanning the oral cavity is to create digital impressions, which are crucial for the fabrication of any dental prosthesis, as three-dimensional models of the dentition are needed.

Alongside technological advancements, new techniques for preparation in fixed dental prosthetics are being developed. An example is the BOPT technique, which involves vertical tooth preparation without a finishing line, associated with gingival sulcus curettage. The technique aims to improve the health and stability of gingival tissues over time.

Since it is a technique still not widely used, there is a need to intensify studies on the subject, justifying the conduct of this observational research aimed at assessing, through scanning and image overlay programs, the volumetric change of gingival tissues after the installation of ceramic prostheses with BOPT-type carving

Conditions

  • Gingival Recession

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique

It is a preparation technique without a finish line, also known as the biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT). In this protocol, the crown's anatomic emergence profile at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is eliminated with diamond rotary instruments to create a new prosthetic junction, adapted to the gingival margin. The aim of this protocol is to create a new anatomic crown with a prosthetic emergence profile that simulates the shape of the natural tooth.
