Cerca

Restorative dentistry
Module Dental prothesis

Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: PIETRO VENEZIA

Expected Learning Outcomes

The educational objectives of the course are to list the principles of fixed prosthesis on natural teeth. Therapies will be evaluated in the rehabilitation of the single tooth and the treatment of the missing tooth. Particular attention will be given to the first visit and to the formulation of the treatment plan.

The course is supplemented by free student participation in local, national and international scientific events organized in the field of dental prosthesis.

The skills acquired will lead the student to develop a critical capacity on the topics covered using the skills in an active way for the purposes of prosthetic rehabilitation.

Course Structure

Lectures, professional internship, seminars. If the course is taught in mixed or distance mode, the necessary changes may be introduced with respect to what was previously stated, in order to comply with the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.
The verification of learning can also be carried out electronically, should the conditions require it.
