This Practical Course in Digital Removable Prosthodontics is designed to provide dental technology students with hands-on experience and practical skills in utilizing digital technologies for the design, fabrication, and customization of removable prostheses. Through a combination of demonstrations and laboratory sessions, students will gain the basic skills in laboratory scanning, computer-aided design (CAD) software and CAM technologies specific to removable prosthodontics. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of digital workflows in removable prosthodontics, including digital impression techniques and CAD/CAM design principle. Students will acquire skills in CAD software applications required for designing removable prostheses.
Fabricate Removable Prostheses: Through hands-on laboratory sessions, students will fabricate removable prostheses using digital workflows. They will translate digital designs into physical prototypes, perform post-processing tasks, and evaluate the fit, function, and esthetics of the fabricated prostheses.
