Maxim Belograd’s 13-module programme on veneers, bonding, preparations and impressions — 28 hours of chairside protocol
Built as a complete fixed-prosthetics curriculum, Online school of orthopedic dentistry gathers 20 lectures by Maxim Belograd into 13 modules and a little over 28 hours. Every major step of indirect and direct restorative work gets its own module: veneer preparation types, adhesive systems, zirconia and glass-ceramic bonding, partial posterior restorations, full crown preps, retraction and impressions, and rubber dam isolation.

What you’ll be able to do
- Choose between window, butt-joint, proximal and incisal-overlap veneer designs
- Run total-etch and selective-etch bonding protocols step by step
- Cement zirconia crowns and ceramic overlays with the right primers and resin cements
- Prepare inlays, overlays and veneer-onlays with immediate dentin sealing
- Take reliable one-step, two-step and hybrid impressions after cord retraction
- Isolate difficult teeth using modified clamps and split-dam set-ups
Inside the course
Adhesion first
The programme opens with the full seating sequence for ceramic veneers, from try-in pastes and tight contacts to finishing the margin, then reviews etch-and-rinse, self-etch and universal adhesives and how to bond to zirconia or glass ceramic when composite or IDS is already present.
Preparation design for every situation
Separate modules deal with veneers over class 3, class 4 and class 5 lesions, heavy discoloration that needs extra ceramic thickness, and veneers on premolars and molars. Silicone indexes, depth control and finish-line placement are shown on real teeth.
Posterior work, crowns and impressions
Cusp reduction and cavity optimisation for partial restorations, direct posterior composites with the stamp technique, e.max and zirconia crown preps using the mirror, and three impression methods with mistake analysis round out the practical content.

Before you buy
Is this about orthopedics in the jaw-growth sense?
No. The title uses “orthopedic” in the Eastern European sense of prosthetic dentistry; the content is veneers, crowns, partial restorations, bonding and impressions.
How is the teaching split between theory and demonstration?
Most modules are live clinical demonstrations filmed step by step; the discoloration module, for instance, is described as roughly 90% practice. The adhesive and rubber dam sessions are closer to webinars.
Why do the roster items not match the 20 lecture count?
The curriculum lists the topics covered inside each module; the 13 modules are delivered as 20 separate lectures.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
