DENT 3126 - Pre-Clinical Esthetics

[26 Hours]

This course will provide the student with the theoretical and practical knowledge for using the various types of adhesive systems and resin cements (chemical, dual and light-cured), in a step-by-step procedure, while preparing and bonding composite inlays, ceramic veneers and ceramic crowns. The course will provide a unified philosophy and define the standard procedures for students and faculty for bonding indirect restorations, leading to a unified teaching philosophy between the three departments involved in bonding procedures. It will provide the necessary continuity from the second to the fourth year Esthetic Clinic. In addition, sessions on bleaching will provide the students with the theoretical and practical knowledge for this conservative procedure (A multidisciplinary faculty from the departments of Comprehensive Dentistry, Comprehensive Dentistry and prosthodontics will teach this course.)
