In this lab course, students will have the opportunity to learn the psychomotor skills and develop the judgment required to restore teeth. Dental inlay wax will be manipulated to restore missing tooth structure to prepared teeth, so that the restored teeth meet morphological and functional requirements. Students will learn to evaluate a wax-up in four aspects: marginal integrity, surface finish, anatomic form, and occlusal relationship. 0-100 (DENT) Begin 2001D

This course prepares students to transfer knowledge and skills pertaining to operative dentistry procedures (silver amalgam restorations, composite resin restorations and current bonding systems, techniques) from the dentaforms on the laboratory bench to the clinical setting on a patient. Students are also introduced to advanced composite resin restorations and the techniques and fabrication procedures involved in their application. 0-100 (DENT) Begin 2001D

The course addresses the terminology, materials, techniques, and basic principles involved with prosthodontic diagnostic procedures, tooth preparations (inlays, onlays, full gold, and metal-ceramic) impression making and master cast fabrication, interim restoration, waxing and occlusion, and the fabrication of cast restorations using the lost wax process. Students learn how to fabricated castings for try in and cementation. 0-100 (DENT) Begin 2001D

This course introduces the student to the basic principles of removable prosthodontics. The course will address the treatment of patients requiring complete denture (CD) therapy. 0-100 (DENT) Begin 2001D

This is a preclinical course presented in the simulation center to expose students to current techniques and materials in esthetic and restorative dentistry. This course equips students with the skills to properly diagnose, treatment plan, and perform a variety of advanced restorative procedures with appropriate materials in context of comprehensive care. 0-100 (DENT) Begin 2001D
