At the end of the course, you are expected to: be able to describe the anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity from the point of view of a full plate prosthesis. understand the clinical treatment procedure in prosthesis therapy. be able to describe the importance of the occlusal physiology in the treatment and production of an occlusal splint. be able to produce a prosthesis and an occlusal splint with all the included steps. be familiar with the characteristics of the included materials and their treatment, and have an understanding of the biological effects of materials and safety regulations.

The course is divided into two parts Removable prosthodontics - theory, 5 HE credits (Removable prosthodontics - theory) Removable prosthodontics - laboratory work, 4.5 HE credits (Removable prosthodontics - laboratory work) Subpart 1 - General introduction about the field of activity of the removable prosthodontics. - Anatomy and physiology from an oral prosthetic view. - The course includes basic knowledge of removable prosthodontics and occlusal physiology. - Demonstrations of practical parts of the course. - Auscultation in a clinic ward. Subpart 2 - In the practical application, working models for all in the course included works are produced. - Mounting in articulator. - Production of a whole prosthesis with component parts. - Production of occlusal splints

The knowledge is provided in lectures, seminars, demonstrations and individual written assignments, papers with an oral presentation and individual application exercises with self-assessment. Clinical auscultations.

Subpart 1. Individual written assignments with an oral presentation and a written final examination. Subpart 2.
