Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:
GENERAL:
- Develop in students the spirit of research and scientific rigor .
- Provide the student knowledge about:
- The history and development of the dental prosthesis ;
- The fundamental principles of materials for prosthetic purposes
- The planning and production of all-ceramic crowns
- New technologies applied to dentures
- Develop in students the habit of study, the accuracy and precision in the correct use of technical and professional language.
- Encourage curiosity and interest of the student, so he , with new ideas , contribute to the development of Prosthodontics.
SPECIFIC:
- Continue to the subjects taught in the course, with particular focus in the disciplines of Fixed Prosthodontics and Ceramics.
- Completing this study , students should be able to demonstrate in writing , orally and in practice that acquired the basics to plan and fabricate all-ceramic fixed prosthesis knowledge.
- It also aims to provide the student with the development of manual dexterity essential to Technical Prosthodontics , by building all-ceramic dental prostheses.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to identify and either run:
- The basic principles of obtaining structures in alumina and zirconia
- The dental materials used in the discipline
- The need for construction and ceramic laminates procedures
- Concepts of light, color, aesthetics
- Build aesthetic and functional restorations
- Build prostheses through ceramic injection methods
Syllabus:
- Technique of obtaining working models, casts and dies systems.
- Base for ceramic veneering structures.
- The golden grid.
- Injection ceramic lithium di-silicate by the cut-back system.
- Professional technique for layering of ceramic materials.
- Colour, light and ranges of standard and custom colour.
- Manual milling systems for structures in zirconia (pantographs).
