Course Description
Introduces full denture construction, processing technique, articulation, reline, repair, and rebase. Covers tooth anatomy as it relates to biomechanics. Audit available.
Addendum to Course Description
Students will work independently at assigned work stations.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon completion of the course students should be able to:
- Wax-up ideal and characterized full dentures utilizing full balance tooth setting techniques following proper angulation and degree setting for 30 degree denture teeth.
- Utilize proper ratios when mixing acrylics, process a complete denture from wax to acrylic, and then remount and finish the denture.
- Repair a broken denture and replace a broken denture tooth.
- Reline a denture by following standard procedures.
- Use proper anatomical terms to describe the features of an oral cavity.
- Read doctor's prescriptions in preparation for case instruction at an intermediate level.
- Communicate using the tooth annotation system fluently
- Develop an understanding of tooth anatomy and how it relates to mastication in centric, working, and balancing movements of the mandible.
