Integrated course unit module: DENTAL PROSTHESIS

Learning objectives

Provide students with the essential theoretical and practical knowledge which will enable a systematic and rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment of oral rehabilitation with fixed and removable restorations, both partial and total, so as to enable it to design and implement the most common prosthetic.

Prerequisites

Have completed all tests 1, 2, 3 and 4 years and Periodontology.
Having attended lectures and exercises of Prosthodontics.

Course unit content

Principles of aesthetic restorative dentistry. Definitions. Compliance with the proportions and camouflage with the natural dentition. The appearance of hard tissue: the shape, the color, the optical characteristics. The esthetics. Techniques for the treatment of soft tissue gingival and edentulous ridges. Total all-ceramic crowns: materials, clinical stages and laboratory. The partial restorations without metal substructure: veneers and inlays. Clinical stages and laboratory. Adhesive cementation.
