Course Description:
Lecture-laboratory
course dealing with those procedures the dentist must perform
To fabricate a physiologically acceptable removable partial
denture and immediate denture. The student gains experience
via clinically simulated laboratory exercises prior to beginning
prosthodontic treatment of a partially edentulous patient.
Educational Objectives:
The
student will gain knowledge of removable partial denture design
and construction. The objective will be for the student to
be able to construct a partial denture which will satisfy
the biomechanical requirements of a partially edentulous patient.
This course will also introduce the student to available procedures
for constructing immediate dentures and subsequent reline
procedures.
Course Outline:
Projects include: designing diagnostic casts,
preparing guide planes and rest seats, making immediate
temporary RPDs, making polyvinylsiloxane impression of crown
preps, using acrylic resin base/PVS materials for occlusal
records, waxing and surveying wax patterns for crowns, making
custom impression trays for maxillary RPDs, making final
impressions for RPD framework, evaluating wax pattern for RPD
framework, critiquing metal framework, add trays and make
altered cast impression, alter master cast and add occlusion
rim, make maxillomandibular records for CD/RPD, do CD/RPD set up
with cusped teeth, make remount casts, repair broken denture and
replace missing teeth. |
Course Expectations:
To successfully meet
the requirements of this course, students are expected to
attend lectures and laboratory sessions and to demonstrate
their understanding of the lecture topics through quizzes,
a midterm and a final. The technical demonstration of this
knowledge may be demonstrated through laboratory practicals
during the midterm and the final examination. Faculty make
written evaluations of daily progress.
Effective
Winter Quarter 2007, completion of on-line course evaluation
is a requirement of this course. Failure to comply will result
in an "Incomplete" grade being assigned.
