REST 711 Indirect Restorations IV: Single/Multiple

Credits: 2
REST 711 further elaborates upon the concept of full coverage indirect restorations. Students will learn about the clinical and laboratory steps that are involved in the fabrication of metal-ceramic single-unit full coverage restorations, as well as multiple-unit restorations replacing missing teeth (Fixed Partial Dentures). This course elaborates on FPD abutment selection, pontic design, advanced principles of tooth preparation (management of compromised preps), basic principles of foundation restorations & core build-ups, communication with the dental laboratory technician (writing lab authorizations for different types of single and multiple unit metal-ceramic restorations), and insertion/cementation of a fixed restoration (gold / metal-ceramic). In the SIM clinic, students will practice preparing teeth for FPDs to replace missing teeth, as well as making provisional FPDs.
