Comparative analysis of trueness between conventional and digital impression in dental-supported fixed dental prosthesis with vertical preparation

2020

Biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) is a vertical preparation technique without a finish line to create a new anatomic crown with a prosthetic emergence profile. This case report describe the protocol realized digitally in a patient who required a new fixed partial denture (FPD) in the anterior esthetic zone.
