Introduction
In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of
the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect
the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.
The dental prosthesis that is made use of osseointegrated implants for dental restoration of absences and their functions, is a type of prosthesis usual today. That is why it is essential to know its characteristics, indications, contraindications, designs, limitations, maintenance and potential problems associated with them.
Pre-course requirements
Having passed the subject Prosthodontics 1 and 2
Objectives
Educate and capacity students in diagnosis and treatment through prosthetic implantology.
Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme
65 - Diagnosing, planning and undertaking, at a general level, multidisciplinary, sequential and integrated treatment of limited complexity for patients of all ages and conditions and patients with special needs (diabetes, hypertension, oncological diseases, transplants, immune-depression, anti-clotting, etc.) or disabilities. Specifically the dentist should be competent in establishing a diagnosis, a prognosis and developing a suitable treatment plan, particularly in terms of orofacial pain, temporo-mandibular disorders, bruxism and other parafunctions; dental and periapical pathology; oral and dental trauma; periodontal and peri-implanted tissue pathologies; pathology of the mandibular bone, of soft oral tissue and annex glands; states of partial or total edentation and planning rehabilitation treatment via dento-muco supported prostheses, or dental impants, dental malpositions or malocculusions and other anatomical or functional alterations of the face or the stomatognathic system and their potential orthodontic, orthopaedic or surgical corrections
68 - Determining and identifying the aesthetic requirements of patients and the possibility of resolving their concerns
70 - Evaluating motor and sensory oral, mandibular and annex function
82 - Designing, preparing teeth, prescribing, recording, doing clinical tests, fitting and putting indirect restorations into service: incrustations, veneers or aesthetic laminate veneers and unitary crowns
85 - Undertaking conventional aesthetic procedures from a multidisciplinary perspective
86 - To treat both partial and full edentulism, including the biological design (specific design characteristics), dental preparation, obtaining record, clinical trials and adapting partial and full removable prostheses to patients, simple dental-supported bridges and simple prostheses on top of implants, both removable and fixed, including
87 - To write up prescriptions to measure for healthcare products such as «dental prostheses» and «orthodontic and dento-facial orthopaedic apparatus»
Learning outcomes of the subject
4.108 - Consult with the necessary specialists for a comprehensive treatment
4.121 - Know how to make a correct analysis of study models
4.122 - Know how to make a correct analysis of the plaster models
4.126 - Know how to make a list of diagnostic problems and structure it properly
4.133 - Acquire the discipline to focus interdisciplinary treatments
4.134 - Know the characteristics of each type of dental prostheses (complete prostheses, removable partial dentures, overdentures teeth fixed prosthesis, joint prosthesis, maxillofacial prosthesis, prosthetic and implant, prostheses sealing); as well as different designs of each one, the nomenclature of the elements that constitute it and the objectives to be achieved with their implementation.
4.135 - Know the indications and contraindications of each type of dental prosthesis
4.136 - - Assess the patient candidate for a dental prosthesis by performing a medical history, a study of models and complementary explorations that correspond in each specific case; and from this information identify the patient's aesthetic and functional demands and establish a diagnosis, prognosis and develop a treatment plan
4.137 - Identify patients requiring a multidisciplinary treatment to achieve therapeutic goals, and be able to work on the treatment.
4.138 - Determine the different biological parameters necessaries to perform an oral rehabilitation
4.140 - Apply the biomechanical concepts that govern each type of dental prosthesis.
4.141 - Get the right occlusive fit for each patient and each type of dental prosthesis.
4.145 - Determine in the edentulous patient or partially edentulous, the biological parameters that characterize artificial teeth and locate the in the space. In the case of complete and partial denture, will also be able to determine the parameters that characterize the base of the prosthesis.
4.153 - Take appropriate impressions for each of the types of dental prostheses; functional in removable partial prosthesis, in closed and open bucket, in implant prosthesis, and the associated techniques.
4.155 - Carry out various prosthesis tests and color that are made during the preparation of the different prostheses.
4.156 - Know the different materials used to make dental prosthesis and be able to indicate the most appropriate for each case.
4.157 - Inform the patient on the most appropriate maintenance measures for each type of dental prosthesis.
4.158 - Carry out the appropriate controls for each type of prosthesis in order to detect and prevent the most frequent complications.
4.160 - Perform the appropriate requirements in the dental laboratory for each type of prosthesis.
