Dental prosthesis is the part of dentistry that deals with the modification of natural teeth due to pathology and the restitution of lost teeth, as well as the prevention of future diseases.
The course will address the study of removable complete prosthodontics and removable partial dentures through functional methods for rehabilitating the masticatory system of partially or fully edentulous patients.
Oral and dental anatomy. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of partially or fully edentulous patients.
he aim of this subject is for students to acquire the basic knowledge and skills in relation to the manufacture of removable dentures (full and partial) and the adaptive control that patients should be taught for the proper use and maintenance of these types of prostheses.
