Horizontal and Vertical Teeth Preparation - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Gianluca Paniz, this course tackles a decision every prosthodontist faces but few are taught systematically: when to choose horizontal versus vertical tooth preparation for a given case. Rather than presenting one method as universally superior, the course builds a decision framework around three macro factors — the preparation site, patient-specific characteristics, and the complexity of the surgical procedure involved.

The curriculum combines theoretical grounding with clinical demonstration across the full restorative workflow: digital planning, tooth preparation technique itself, impression taking, and cementation. By connecting each stage back to the horizontal-versus-vertical decision, the course helps clinicians understand not just how to execute either technique, but why one is the better choice for a specific clinical situation.

Across 9 videos and just over 5 hours of content, the course is designed to give practitioners the judgment and technical skill needed to manage complex prosthetic cases predictably, regardless of which preparation approach a case calls for.
