About the course
Vertical preparations and no-post fiber reinforced core for crowns
For the third time this crown is coming loose with its "post and core build up", what can be done?
For those who believe that a tooth always works better than an implant, this course describes in detail contemporary biomimetic solutions capable of reinforcing residual tooth structures and thus improving the prognosis of the new restoration. This objective is based on the synergistic combination of minimally invasive preparation techniques ("vertipreps") and no-post fiber-reinforced core reconstruction, all of which are fully compatible with modern three-dimensional endodontic techniques.
Over the last fifteen years or so, "vertipreps" or preparations for crowns without clear finishing lines have made a comeback. Resurrections of the 'trace' cervical margin of the ancestral crowns with fitted rings, vertipreps or V-preps have logically accompanied the development of a new, highly resistant ceramic, zirconia.
These preparations offer the dual advantage of significant dental tissue savings, as well as unrivalled gingival conditioning and shaping.
The icing on the cake is that, by optimizing the ferrule effect, they act in synergy with modern coronal-radicular reconstructions, which are adhesive and have no root posts, thus strengthening residual dental tissue, particularly in the case of prosthetic re-treatment.
Aims, Objectives and Learning Content:
Guided by a biomimetic and minimally invasive philosophy, you will learn over the course of this intense day, combining theoretical lectures and practical work:
- How to remove, or why not remove, existing coronal-radicular reconstructions
- How and why to create an internal adhesive ferrule without a post
- How to prepare vertically finished prosthetic margins
- How to condition gingival tissue using temporary crowns.
Hands-on:
1. Isolation of endodontically treated tooth 2.1
2. No-post fiber reinforced core building on tooth 2.1
3. Shoulderless preparation on tooth 2.1
4. Provisional crown and crown margin design

David Gerdolle was born in Epinal (France) in May 1970, and is gratuated from the Dental University of Nancy (1993). He has then achieved a number of Postgraduate Diplomas from the Universities of Paris and Gothenburg, in Oral and Osteo-articular Biology, Implantology, Prosthodontics and Adhesive Dentistry.
David has been member of the teaching staff of the University of Nancy between 1993 and 2005, and he is running a private practice in Vevey-Montreux since 2006. His practice is dedicated to conservative and minimal invasive dentistry. David is currently directing a Postgraduate Certificate at the University of Paris, and is also involved in research programs on resin composites in the University of Nancy.
He is lecturing world while in seminars and congresses, he is also giving hands-on courses and performing live demonstrations on patients in the field of adhesive and minimally invasive dentistry. As an author or an co-author, David has published widely in scientific national and international journals on this topic.
David speaks french, english, spanish and german.
