“Verti-Prep: back to the future"
The preparation of the abutment using horizontal finish lines (shoulder and chamfer) has been widely used in the last three or more decades and acknowledged by the academic world as the gold standard. The development of new materials and equipment, as well as a better comprehension of soft tissue biology, has allowed to “revive” the knife-edge finish line and the gingettage strategy (rotary curettage).The aims of the lecture are:
A- Demystifying the “hypothesis” of periodontal damage from vertical finish lines
B- Showing the biomechanical advantages of the vertical finish lines, especially in endodontically treated teeth
C- Introducing a completely new approach to designing and managing the vertical finish lines
Topics:
Shoulderless and Edgeless Strategy
Gingettage (rotary currettage)
Drilling Strategies with non-cutting-end burs
Biomechanics of the abutment and Ferrule
Attendees will:
- Safe Drilling Strategy for getting vertical finish lines
- Creating an efficacious ferrule effect on the residual dental structure
- Approaching deep decayed margins (deep margin acquisition, deep margin extension, vertical edgeless approach)
