REST 529A Treatment & Management of Edentulous Patient
The fundamentals of "Management and Treatment of the Edentulous Patient" are taught in a 3-credit, one semester course. Eleven lectures are presented. A "Clinical Complete Denture" series of video demonstrations augments this laboratory course.
Laboratory sessions are held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 1:00 p.m. until 3:50 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. until 4:50 p.m. depending on the day. Most laboratory sessions are previewed by a required attendance "briefing" in your assigned lecture hall at 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m.
