Fixed Prosthodontics 2, 10.5 credits

For admission to semester 2, at least 22.5 credits from semester 1 are required.

At the end of the course, you are expected to: Be able to apply and describe basic theoretical knowledge of occasional fixed prosthetic substitutes and their production methods. Be able to translate theoretical knowledge into practical work in order to recreate a functional, and socially functioning, bite for the patient. Be oriented about endodontic treatment and current treatment planning, and have knowledge of the work process of direct and indirect technology. Be able to describe and practically apply knowledge of the anatomy and morphology of the bite . Have basic knowledge in chromatology and have an understanding of the importance of shade selection. Independently be able to assess and in groups, discuss and evaluate the quality of various types of fixed crown constructions. Understand the necessity of a good working environment and ergonomics.

The course comprises lectures, written assignments, seminars, demonstrations and a practical application. The course is divided in two parts/sections Subpart 1 - Fixed prosthodontics - theory, 6 HE credits (Fixed prosthodontics - theory) Subpart 2 - Fixed prosthodontics - laboratory work 4.5 HE credits (Fixed prosthodontics - laboratory work) Fixed prosthodontics - theory - Clinical and technical aspects of fixed prosthetic constructions where specialisation of preparation principles and cementation are included. - Repetition and advanced study of dental anatomy - Metal ceramics and veneer crowns with a focus on how single crowns are produced with regard to function and aesthetics - Working environment and ergonomics. - Orientation around management of impressions and models regarding contamination control - Endodontics, clinical views on endodontic treatment for various core/post and core constructions - Introduction to CAD-CAM production of fixed prosthodontics - Basic theory of chromatology and shade selection - Papers, assignments in different sub-parts with individual written and oral presentations - Demonstrations of practical parts of the course Fixed prosthodontics - laboratory work The practical application, includes the production of; - Working models for all works in the course. - Supervise dental students in the production of a working model. - Shape understanding and dental anatomy are practiced in the production of crowns in metal/ceramics, metal/composite and composite - Production of a temporary bridge - Production of pillars and contributions - Written self-assessment of each individual practical work

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

Assessment of the students' achievements and knowledge acquisition takes place through approved individual written assignments with oral presentation, approved individually produced practical exercises and an approved practical test, and a written final examination. Requirement on attendance in a seminar following up all papers. In case of absence in a regular seminar session, the student should participate in a re-examination seminar to obtain a Pass grade.
