Course Description
This course is two-semester course during the 3rd year. It is introductory and pre-clinical course to removable complete and partial denture prosthodontics. It consists of didactic and practical components; the practical component (two lab sessions and one lecture per week in the first semester while there is only one lab with two lectures during the second semester) covers the technical aspects of both complete and removable denture construction.
The course in general is designed to prepare the student to understand the biological, mechanical as well as the aesthetic aspects of removable denture treatment. During the course various exercises that simulate the clinical treatment of the patient are employed.
Main Objectives
This course is an introduction to Removable Prosthodontics based on theoretical (didactic) and practical components. After completing this course the students are expected to understand the aims and objectives of denture construction and being able to fabricate complete and partial dentures in the laboratory. Denture supporting areas in both the maxilla and the mandible will be illustrated. Methods of pouring dental casts, custom tray and record block construction, as well as setting of teeth and denture processing will be demonstrated.
