Objectives

FIXED PROSTHODONTICS MODULE (3 ECTS)

To acquire theoretical-practical and practical knowledge/competencies for executing tooth preparation in Fixed Prosthodontics and performing provisional restorations, impressions and cementations.

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS MODULE (3 ECTS)

Learning of general concepts related to the rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients with removable dentures. The student should be able to establish a correct diagnosis and treatment planning for totally edentulous patients.

OCCLUSION MODULE (3 ECTS)

To understand the auxiliary diagnosis methods of temporomandibular disorders, intermaxillary registration, deprograming techniques and vertical dimension of occlusion.

Therapies for temporomandibular disorders. Fabrication and adjustment of an occlusal stabilization appliance.

MATERIALS MODULE (1 ECTS)

Students should develop skills to manipulate materials used in rehabilitation treatments.

Learning outcomes and competences

Students should be able to:
- execute appropriate tooth preparations, temporary restorations and impressions on fixed prostheses;
- establish a diagnosis and plan a clinical case of total removable prosthesis, and produce casts, record bases and wax rims;
- diagnose a patient with temporomandibular disorders and produce an occlusal stabilization splint;
- manipulate different prosthetic materials.
