Description: The course is designed to provide students a step further into restorative dentistry, drawing on many clinical skills acquired to be applied to the design and construction of prostheses for correct partial and complete edentulism as one aspect of the total treatment of patients. As part of ongoing clinical dentistry and general dental practice, this block course is important for the future dental practitioner to be able to produce prostheses of high quality. This course lays the foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge for students to be prepared to fabricate appropriate removable prostheses. A specialist visiting prosthodontist convenes this course in a three-week intensive time period, during which time, the Year 4 students concentrate only on this course. Alternatively if a full time prosthodontist is available on site then the course will be delivered on an annualized basis.
