Course Objectives: 
This is the second year course of the Department of Prosthodontics. In the previous year, the students were encouraged to develop their manipulative and psychomotor skills in the “Morphology, Manipulation and Prosthodontics 1” course. In the second year, this course focuses on specific aspects of Removable Partial Prosthodontics and Fixed prosthodontics, and primarily aims to teach students the laboratory procedures related with the manufacturing of partial removable dentures and fixed prosthesis. In the meantime, students are taught to make correlations with clinical procedures so that they are prepared for the prosthodontic treatments they should carry out in the subsequent year. The course has both theoretical and practical parts.
Course Content: 

 

To help our students acquire knowledge and skills with both theoretical and practical studies about removable partial dentures and fixed prostheses.
Course Methodology: 
1: Lecture, 2: Question-Answer, 3: Discussion, 4: Case Study 5: Practice
Course Evaluation Methods: 
A: Testing, B: Preclinical Lab Study C: Homework-Case study D: Clinical performance form E:OSCHIE
