The Best Paper Award recognizes the scholarly contribution of the authors from Universitat de València for the publication entitled EasyBOPT: A Digitally Standardized Protocol to Simplify and Reproduce the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT)—Technique Description and Case Series. The article contributes to contemporary prosthodontics and digital dentistry by presenting a standardized clinical workflow for the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT). Through digital planning, clinical protocols, and case-based evaluation, the publication demonstrates how reproducible restorative procedures can enhance precision, esthetics, periodontal stability, and long-term treatment outcomes in fixed prosthodontics.

Abstract

This award-recognized review introduces EasyBOPT, a digitally standardized protocol designed to simplify and reproduce the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT). The publication combines digital workflows with conventional restorative principles to improve treatment predictability, prosthetic accuracy, and soft-tissue management. Through technique description and representative clinical cases, the study illustrates how standardized digital planning supports reproducible outcomes in esthetic and restorative dentistry while facilitating clinical implementation.

Keywords

Digital Dentistry; EasyBOPT; Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique; Prosthodontics; Digital Workflow; Fixed Prosthesis; Case Series; Periodontal Stability.

Introduction

Modern prosthodontics increasingly integrates digital technologies to improve treatment planning, restorative precision, and patient outcomes. The Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT) has emerged as an innovative approach for achieving optimal gingival adaptation and esthetic restoration. Standardized digital protocols have the potential to simplify clinical procedures while enhancing consistency and reproducibility across restorative treatments.

Research Profile

The research was conducted at Universitat de València, Spain, a leading institution recognized for contributions to dental science, prosthodontics, and digital healthcare innovation. The publication reflects ongoing research dedicated to integrating digital technologies with evidence-based clinical dentistry to improve restorative treatment protocols and patient care.

Scientific Background

Advances in intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM systems, and digital prosthetic planning have transformed restorative dentistry. Standardized preparation techniques improve communication between clinicians and laboratories while supporting predictable periodontal and esthetic outcomes. The EasyBOPT protocol builds upon these technological developments by introducing a reproducible workflow applicable to routine clinical practice.

Methodology

The publication presents a review of the EasyBOPT protocol supported by detailed technique descriptions and a series of representative clinical cases. The methodology integrates digital treatment planning, prosthetic design, clinical implementation, and follow-up assessment to demonstrate reproducibility and clinical applicability within modern restorative dentistry.

Key Findings

The study demonstrates that digitally standardized BOPT workflows enhance procedural consistency, facilitate communication among dental professionals, and improve restorative precision. Clinical cases indicate favorable esthetic integration, stable peri-implant and periodontal soft tissues, and reproducible treatment outcomes using digital protocols.

Scientific Contributions

This publication contributes to digital prosthodontics by providing a structured protocol that bridges clinical expertise with digital innovation. The EasyBOPT workflow supports reproducible restorative procedures, enhances treatment standardization, and promotes evidence-based implementation of biologically oriented preparation techniques within everyday dental practice.

Conclusion

The award-winning publication represents a significant contribution to restorative dentistry by introducing a simplified, digitally standardized protocol for the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique. Through clinical demonstration and systematic workflow design, the study advances precision dentistry while supporting improved esthetic outcomes, periodontal health, and long-term restorative success.
