Introduction

The program of Master degree in Aesthetic Restorative dentistry offers a very wide practical clinical activity and at the same time wants to deepen in the knowledge by students of dental laboratory.

Nowadays, in the world of modern dentistry, new technologies have developed a set of systems of work such as CAD-CAM, which require basic knowledge of materials and laboratory procedures to make restorers works and that the dentist could perform it in his/her own clinic. Therefore, in the subject of laboratory techniques of fixed prostheses, we develop these protocols of work and also provide students with the knowledge and basic tools to accomplish those objectives.

Students will follow the work protocols established at the University for different dental laboratory procedures. At the same time, they will acquire manual techniques of each of the steps to take and guidelines to successfully develop these protocols. 

Pre-course requirements

Reading of the specific literature about the aesthetic diagnosis in dentistry. Follow the book by Dr. Mauro Fradeani about the aesthetic rehabilitation and the aesthetic analysis. Also review specific articles on the topic of Dr. Magne, Dr. Galip Gürel, Dr. Dietschi, Dr. Rocca among others.

Objectives

  • Scientific and surgical training as an expert in the field of rehabilitation aesthetic restorative dentistry
  • Provision of knowledge to make a correct aesthetic diagnosis in order to establish a treatment plan based on the most current scientific criteria
  • To train students in the laboratory techniques required for the aesthetic diagnosis such as was diagnostic and different techniques of provisionals preparation
  • Knowledge of new materials of provisionals and their management in the laboratory

Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Teaching and learning activities

In person

Laboratory practices of fixed prosthesis develop in the L7 laboratory, where are the necessary machines required to perform and make the production of diagnostic prosthesis, assembly on articulator, emptying plaster models, model preparation, etc.

Practice, always come preceded by a brief presentation of the work to be performed and a hands-on of each of the steps the student must follow, in order to show the manual skills needed to obtain good results.

During the first year, in addition to the practices in the laboratories, we have the collaboration of great professionals of the field, who perform presentations of different techniques and do an individualized hands-on for all.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

There is a continuous assessment every day at the end of the practice. It will take into account the knowledge of the subject as well as the execution of work in practices and the active participation of students in their development
