Course Description
This course concludes the last sequence of fixed and removable prosthodontic courses
leading to a professional degree in dentistry. The theoretical component will allow the
students to make decisions, plan treatments and choose the proper treatment options for
the edentulous and partially edentulous patients. It will also cover a review of important
aspects in both fixed and removable prosthodontics. Furthermore, this course will cover
advanced topics about esthetic dentistry, fixed-removable prosthodontics and full mouth
rehabilitation cases. It will also cover the laboratory procedures involved in fabrication of
dental restorations.
Clinically, the students should be able to provide sound judgments independent of the
instructor and should be able to treat patients in a multidisciplinary approach.

Attendance

Participation

Feedback:

Students are encouraged to ask questions during

the lectures and clinics. This will let the staff
member know the difficult areas. The student
should not think that the question is wasting the
time of the lecture. Ask the staff member to repeat
the explanation as many as needed to get the
answer.
It is sometimes possible for the staff member not to
be sure of the answer. It is the responsibility of the
staff member to dig around for the answer and
report back to his students.
Making any kind of disruption during lecture or
clinic time will affect you negatively.
Every student should prepare and review home for
every clinical step he or she is supposed to do in
the clinic. Quizzes and assessments are possible
through out the clinic time and will include
materials covered in the 3rd and 4th years.
Concerns or complaints should be expressed in
the first instance to the course instructor.

If no resolution is forthcoming then the issue

should be brought to the attention of the
Department Chair and if still unresolved to the
Dean.
