Indirect Adhesive Prosthesis Techniques have had a strong development in recent decades due to major changes and advances in techniques and materials of adhesion. Are very technical sensitives treatments so both theoretical and practical preparation is necessary as well as great skills. To achieve the objective it is necessary an adequate theoretical training and in vitro before starting with clinical practice on patients.

Knowledge of the adhesive dentistry bases.

Knowledge of the properties of restorative dental materials.

Know the principles of the indirect prosthesis adhesive techniques, both the preparation of dental tissues such as the preparation of prostheses in the laboratory

Know the different techniques of preparation 

• CG4 - To know how to apply protocols for the use of the equipment in the dental laboratory-workshop to the point of undertaking the necessary procedures that help in oral rehabilitation or the treatments common to a restorative dentist.
• CE5 - To be able to give public presentations on your own clinical cases based on the scientific literature, and correctly use the scientific terminology related to temporomandibular dysfunction and aesthetic restorative dentistry.
• CE7 - To be able to search for, organise and analyse, from a critical point of view, and using biomedical sources of information, scientific literature on issues related to temporomandibular dysfunction and aesthetic restorative dentistry, in order to pursue continuing education in a self-directed and autonomous way.
• CB10 - Students should acquire the learning skills that allow them to continue to study.
• CB6 - Students should have and understand knowledge that provides the basis for or opportunity to be original in terms of the development and application of ideas, often within a research context.
• CB7 - Students should know how to apply the knowledge they have acquired and be able to resolve problems in new or little known environments within a broader (or multidiciplinary) context, related to their area of study.
• CE4 - To acquire the ability to make oral preparations on mucosa, teeth, and dental implants, to build dental prostheses in patients with advanced oral and multidisciplinary disorders; as well as identify and undertake the procedures and various checks for the prosthetic components during construction.
