REST 528 Fixed Prosthodontics
Fixed Prosthodontics is the phase of dentistry that involves restoration of all or part of the coronal portion of a tooth or the replacement of one or more missing teeth by means of a non-removable (fixed) restoration. Fixed prosthodontics can range from restoring a single tooth to a complete rehabilitation of the dentition involving the restoration of all or most of the remaining teeth.
The purpose of this course is to establish a basic understanding of fixed partial prosthodontics and to develop the skills necessary to complete the treatment and laboratory procedures with predictable, consistent success.
Principles involved in making both individual restorations and fixed partial dentures will be taught. The course includes different types of preparations for teeth, the fabrication of temporary restorations using several techniques and materials, as well as exposure to cad-cam restorations and dental implants.
