OHI-S Оrthodontic preparation before prosthetics

5 lessons (8h 2min)

The modern trend is working in an interdisciplinary team. Our new online course “Minimal orthodontics: preparation before prosthetics” is created for orthodontists and prosthodontists.

Orthodontists will learn all the instruments to prepare for prosthetics, prosthodontists will learn the possibilities of working with orthodontists, and will also learn how to solve some prosthetic problems with minimal orthodontic procedures.

In the training you will learn step-by-step protocols of minimal orthodontics using:

– Segmental orthodontics

– Skeletal anchorage

– Aligners.

After you complete the training, your patients will get the best result of orthodontic-prosthetic treatment!

The OHI‑S Orthodontic Preparation Before Prosthetics program is best for prosthodontists, restorative dentists, orthodontists, and general practitioners who want structured, training in interdisciplinary protocols for preparing teeth and occlusion orthodontically before prosthetic rehabilitation. It emphasizes evidence‑based collaboration to ensure functional stability, aesthetics, and long‑term success of prosthetic treatments.

Who Should Enroll
Prosthodontists planning complex rehabilitations where orthodontic alignment is required before prosthetic work.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners managing crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants in patients with malpositioned teeth.
Orthodontists collaborating with prosthodontists to optimize occlusion and tooth positioning for prosthetic success.
Oral surgeons involved in implant placement or orthognathic cases where orthodontic preparation is essential.
Residents & fellows in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, or orthodontics seeking advanced interdisciplinary training.
Dental technicians fabricating prostheses that depend on proper orthodontic preparation for accuracy and longevity.
What You’ll Learn
Diagnostic protocols: evaluating when orthodontic preparation is necessary before prosthetics.
Treatment sequencing: integrating orthodontic tooth movement with prosthetic planning.
Functional rehabilitation: ensuring occlusal harmony and TMJ stability before prosthetic work.
Aesthetic integration: aligning teeth and occlusal planes for optimal smile design.
Interdisciplinary collaboration: structured workflows between orthodontists, prosthodontists, and restorative dentists.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of orthodontic preparation leading to successful prosthetic outcomes.
