DISCIPLINE ODONTOSTOMATOLOGICHE I
Module Dental prothesis

Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: MARCO CICCIU'

Expected Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course the student has a preparation that allows him to recognize the clinical signs of diseases of the oral cavity, to then formulate a diagnosis and a removable prosthetic treatment plan. He is also able to perform temporary and definitive prosthetic therapy aimed at restoring masticatory function. In particular, the student is able to: know the normal anatomy of the temporomandibular joint know the principles of prosthetic preparations; know the materials for temporary rehabilitation; know the materials for definitive mobile prosthetic rehabilitations; know the dental technical processing phases; know the steps of testing the prosthetic product; know the phases of temporary and definitive cementation; know the methods of controlling prosthetic rehabilitation;

of the mucostatic, mucodynamic and functional imprint;

7. Creation of the primary model and construction of the individual impression tray;

8. Bordering the individual impression tray and making the definitive impression of the jaws

edentulous: mucostatic impression with functionalization of the frenulum;

9. The casting, the boxing of the impression and the packaging of the bases with wax valleys;

departure;

13. Mounting the models in the articulator and checking the registration;

14. The aesthetic and phonetic problem in total dentures: the individualized assembly of the front teeth;

15. The assembly of diatoric teeth according to the principles of multilocal occlusion and

independently stable during chewing;

16. Waxing techniques with functional anatomical modeling of the prosthetic body;

17. Polymerization methods for total prostheses: by compression, injection and casting;

18. Selective grinding of polymerized prostheses, clinical adaptation and body finishing

prosthetic;
