Why This Webinar
This comprehensive on-demand e-Course focuses on the first and most critical stage of indirect restorations: the biological and mechanical preparation of severely damaged teeth before scanning and final restoration.
The webinar explores in depth the Biobase concept, a structured approach for managing teeth with extensive loss of structure, cracks, fractures, and compromised dentin. Emphasis is placed on composite build-up strategies, reinforcement techniques, and the use of rebound systems to stabilize weakened teeth and prevent further structural failure prior to indirect restoration.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to approach cracked teeth, heavily restored teeth, and teeth with deep caries or fractures, learning how to properly clean, isolate, reinforce, and rebuild them in a predictable and biologically respectful way.
Through detailed clinical explanations and extensive real-life clinical footage, the course demonstrates the complete biobase workflow: from removal of old restorations and caries detection, to isolation, caries excavation, resin reconstruction, and reinforcement techniques that ensure the tooth is strong, stable, and ready to receive an indirect restoration.
This webinar is designed for dentists who want to stop improvising in complex cases and start following a clear, repeatable protocol that leads to long-term restorative success.
What You'll Learn
- Understanding the Biobase Concept: What Biobase is, when it is indicated, and why it is essential for predictable indirect restorations in compromised teeth.
- Management of Cracked & Structurally Weakened Teeth: How to diagnose, assess, and treat cracked teeth before indirect restoration, minimizing the risk of propagation and failure.
- Removal of Old Restorations & Caries Detection: Step-by-step clinical workflow for safely removing existing restorations and accurately identifying and cleaning carious dentin.
- Caries Excavation Protocols:How to clean deep caries effectively while preserving tooth structure and respecting biological limits.
- Isolation & Field Control: Rubber dam isolation techniques for managing complex, heavily damaged teeth in a controlled and predictable environment.
- Composite Build-Up Strategies:
How to rebuild lost tooth structure using resin materials to create a stable, well-designed foundation for indirect restorations.
- Ribbond Systems & Tooth Reinforcement:
Clinical use of reinforcement techniques to protect weakened cusps and improve fracture resistance. - Margin Relocation & Structural Optimization:
How to redesign margins and tooth anatomy to facilitate scanning and long-term restorative success. - Preparation Before Scanning:
How to prepare the tooth correctly so it is biologically stable, mechanically strong, and ready for digital impression or conventional workflow. - Extensive Clinical Demonstrations:
High-quality clinical videos from real cases, showing every step of the Biobase protocol in everyday practice — no theory-only content. - Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them:
Critical errors that lead to failed indirect restorations and how to eliminate them through proper Biobase preparation.

Your Instructor
Dr. Takeshi Tsuruta is a general dentist based in Aichi, Japan, with a clinical focus on Biomimetic Dentistry and predictable adhesive restorative care. He received his DDS from Hiroshima University in 2010 and completed postgraduate training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Nagoya University in 2019. He has also studied regenerative medicine, alongside minimally invasive restorative techniques.
Dr. Tsuruta is known for his practical approach to isolation and adhesion. He regularly delivers hands-on courses in Japan on Absolute Isolation and PTFE Isolation, sharing step-by-step protocols, chairside tips, and alternative strategies to improve moisture control and restorative outcomes. His teaching emphasizes consistency, efficiency, and minimally invasive decision-making.
In 2024, he was appointed an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Aichi-Gakuin University School of Dentistry in Nagoya, Japan. In 2025, he completed advanced training at the Alleman Center for Biomimetic Dentistry, including the SLA Mastership program. Dr. Tsuruta remains committed to continuous learning and to developing new isolation methods and clinical protocols that support long-term function, esthetics, and tooth preservation.
