Course Director: Yen-Wei Chen
Credits: 4
Quarters/Yr of Program: Winter / 2
Course Overview
This is the second course in a three-course sequence of preclinical fixed prosthodontics. The lectures and laboratory exercises emphasize the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, preparation of multiple abutment teeth for fixed prostheses, preparation of complete ceramic crowns, and general fundamentals in treatment planning for fixed prostheses. Projects emphasize the various designs and materials for post-and-core foundation restorations as well as multiple-abutment tooth preparations for posterior fixed prostheses and multiple-unit provisional restorations. Lectures integrate the disciplines of fixed prosthodontics, endodontics, and periodontics, and they also incorporate the material sciences into laboratory techniques and clinical procedures.
