PD

Laboratory exercises include cavity preparation for amalgam in ivorine teeth and extracted natural teeth. Amalgam restorations are placed and carved in all of the preparations. Amalgams placed in natural teeth are polished. The manipulation and application of cement bases, liners and cavity varnish are included. This course also consists of tooth-colored restorative laboratory projects. The projects will be taught in a step-by-step format for preparation design and placement (inserting, contouring, finishing, and contouring) of conservative tooth-colored restoratives (i.e., composite resin, glass ionomer, and supporting materials). The procedures to be taught in the laboratory are: (1) sealants, (2) PRR, (3) Class II, III, IV, V preparation designs and placement of composite resin material, (4) Class preparation design and placement of glass ionomer material, (5) direct composite veneers, (6) management of root caries, (7) detection and management of caries, and (8) resin bonding exercises. Also in this course first year students will be introduced to applying the technical procedures necessary to fabricate a CAD/CAM designed restoration. Finally, this course involves the study of dental materials that includes physical, chemical and mechanical properties and the interaction of basic materials with the biological system. A special laboratory is included to illustrate both properties and manipulation of dental materials.
