Acquired Skills
Performing laboratory procedures for fixed prosthodontics on acrylic teeth and preparing them to receive single crowns and various types of fixed prosthetic restorations.
Preparing students to work on artificial acrylic teeth before moving to natural teeth.
Training students on the proper dentist position in relation to the phantom head, which simulates the patient’s head as well as the positions of the mandibular and maxillary arches.
Teaching students the principles of preparing artificial teeth to receive fixed prosthetic restorations.
Qualifying students to be ready for future work in clinical dental settings.
Preparing students to deal with natural teeth in terms of dental preparation procedures.
Additional Services Provided by the Laboratory
Conducting various preparation models on compromised natural teeth to simulate clinical reality, in addition to designing different forms of root posts for such teeth.
These experiences help students acquire the necessary expertise on artificial teeth before clinical application on natural teeth. They also qualify students to produce academic models that serve labor-market needs by reducing the time required to complete practical work and by preserving models that support the simulation of productive clinical practice.
Practical Training for Simulating Fixed Prosthodontic Restorations
The Fixed Prosthodontics Laboratory contributes to preparing students for the transition from training on artificial teeth to clinical application on natural teeth with greater confidence and competence.
