Popis: This article aims to describe Vertical Edgeless Preparation (VEP), a full-crown vertical preparation technique initially introduced by the Porta Mascarella Group in the 1980s. The method is defined as “periodontally driven” because its main indication is teeth with a loss of periodontal attachment, and it aims to obtain healthier periodontal tissues. This work describes the step-by-step procedure for performing this prosthetic technique and its indications, contraindications, impression phases, temporary crown management, and its biological concept of periodontal dominance.
