Introduction
Dental prostheses or prosthodontics is the area of dentistry involved in modifying diseased natural teeth and in the restitution of lost teeth, as well as in the prevention of future pathologies.
In this subject, prostheses of all types will be examined, i.e., fixed, and maxillofacial, as methods for functionally rehabilitating the masticatory system of partially edentulous patients.
Pre-course requirements
Oral and dental anatomy. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of partially or fully edentulous patients
Objectives
The aim of this course is to make students acquire the basic knowledge and skills in relation to the manufacture of prostheses (total and partial), knowledge of the components of the joint prosthesis, the use of maxillofacial prosthesis and implant and adaptive control that patients should make for the proper use of these types of prosthetic stomatology and maintenance
