Integrated Preclinical Technique I: Capstone.

Catalog description

As a component of the Integrated Preclinical Preventive and Restorative Dentistry curriculum, students will be evaluated on their mastery of laboratory skills and simulation of restorative procedures presented in this course. Cases increase in complexity throughout the quarter and treatment planning accompanies all projects. Students simulate the treatment of an integrated simulated patient case utilizing the principles and techniques taught in the dental anatomy, operative dentistry and fixed prosthodontics courses in quarters one through three, in preparation for patient care in the clinic. Students also perform a smile design on their simulated patient, prepare teeth for lithium disilicate porcelain veneers and create provisional (temporary) restorations. Multiple designs of all-ceramic onlay preparations and provisionals are also introduced. (Quarter 4).
