    Cr Hrs: 0.5 (8-0-0)
    This course will expand upon the principles of amalgam and composite resin preparations/restorations. Preparation design for compound and complex restorations will be discussed, including the indications and usage of pins, amalgapins, secondary retention features with/without bonding, and replacement of cusps. Introduction of additional, other than alloy based (amalgam) restoratives such as composite and/or composite core materials will be included. Other topics of this course include caries detection/removal and appropriate use of liners and bases in restorative treatment.

  • RESD 206 - Complex Intracoronal Preparations/Restorations (Lab)


    Cr Hrs: 1 (0-24-0)
    This Laboratory course will include projects allowing the student doctor to work on typodont (plastic) teeth with/without simulated caries and treat natural teeth, simulating real-case clinical scenarios. Exposure to different restorative materials and diverse clinical techniques will be expanded. Student doctors will learn to prepare and insert compound and complex restorations, using both amalgam and composite resin materials, involving cusp replacement, as permanent restorations or build-up restoratives for future prosthodontic care.
