Fixed Prosthodontics 3
Course Director: Yen-Wei Chen & Xavier Lepe
Credits: 2
Quarters/Yr of Program: Spring / 2
Course Overview
This course is the third in a three-course sequence of preclinical fixed prosthodontics. Greater ability in planning and critical thinking is expected compared to the previous two courses. The lectures and laboratory exercises emphasize the esthetic aspects of the restoration of multiple-unit prostheses and serve as an introduction to digital dentistry. Lectures integrate the disciplines of fixed prosthodontics, periodontics, and orthodontics, as well as connect laboratory and clinical fixed prosthodontics course content with material science information. Several guest lecturers will introduce the concept of interdisciplinary treatment planning in fixed prosthodontics.
