Docente: MARCO CICCIU'

Risultati di apprendimento attesi

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;
