This
preclinical course is designed to provide the students with basic technology
concepts of fixed Prosthodontics. Biomechanical principles of tooth reduction
for extra-coronal restorations are taught. This proceeds in addition to the
application of these concepts on anatomic ivorine teeth mounted on models
simulating teeth in the oral cavity. Furthermore, the students are trained in
the various laboratory steps needed for the laboratory fabrication of full
metallic restorations.
The course is designed to provide the students with basic theoretical concepts of fixed prosthodontics. Biomechanical principles of tooth reduction for full coverage extracoronal restorations are taught regarding all ceramic and porcelain fused to metal restorations. This proceeds in addition to the application of these concepts on anatomic ivorine teeth mounted in models simulating teeth in the oral cavity. Furthermore, the students are trained on the various laboratory steps needed for the laboratory fabrication of Jacket and veneered restorations. This course fulfills the SDS3 which is good health and well being.
