OHI-S B.O.P.T. Integrating Traditional and Digital Approaches

6 lessons (3h 58min)
Analog and digital approaches to the B.O.P.T. concept – your guide to predictable treatment in aesthetic rehabilitation cases!
Soft tissue enhancement combined with biologically oriented preparation technique (B.O.P.T.) is a key factor for the success of your indirect restoration.
With the B.O.P.T. concept, you can achieve both pink and white aesthetics!
During this course, you will learn in detail about:
– Guidelines for tooth preparation in the B.O.P.T. protocols
– Soft tissue management with B.O.P.T. preparation
– Digital protocols for crown designing in B.O.P.T. edgeless preparation
– CAD/CAM technology in the B.O.P.T. implant workflow.
The OHI‑S B.O.P.T. (Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique): Integrating Traditional and Digital Approaches course is best for prosthodontists, general dentists, and dental technicians who want structured, CE‑accredited training in the B.O.P.T. method for crowns and veneers, combining analog precision with modern digital workflows.
Who Should Enroll

Prosthodontists managing complex restorative and full‑mouth rehabilitation cases.
General dentists performing crown and veneer preparations who want to adopt biologically oriented techniques.
Dental technicians & lab professionals fabricating restorations that integrate B.O.P.T. principles with CAD/CAM workflows.
