• Abstract:

  Objective. All available scientific evidence on the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique (BOPT) is shown, including relevant, unknown and controversial aspects of the topic. Methods. This study focuses on the analysis and clinical cases reported with this technique in different dental areas, including the differences between digital and conventional protocols used to rehabilitate dental structures and their cementation. Results. 47 scientific articles have been compiled in digital databases through study quality assessment and established exclusion and inclusion criteria. BOPT has a stable periodontal-prosthetic relationship, however, more randomized studies are needed to support this dental preparation. Conclusions. The hours with the patient are increased and the clinician's experience is essential, taking into account that digital methods speed up the process, but increase the cost of the work.
