This is a one year course during the Third Year. It is an introductory course to Fixed Prosthodontics. The course represents the orientation phase to the discipline of fixed prosthodontics (FP). It provides a structured framework for the students to learn the scientific basis and the fundamental principles of FP. It prepares the student for the practice of sound clinical FP through a patient simulation phase of mechanical and technical procedures.COURSE OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this course, the student will:

1. Understand the nomenclature and instrumentation used in clinical dentistry.
2. Develop basic psychomotor skills for clinical dentistry.
3. Use management and clinical self-evaluation skills in delivering clinical
dental care.
4. Apply basic occlusal function and stability principles to restorative
procedures.
5. Apply factors of biological and mechanical design for the preparation of
teeth for extracoronal cast gold, porcelain fused to metal and all ceramic
restorations.
6. Apply factors of biological and mechanical design for complex foundational
restorations.

INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS:

Didactic Lectures

!

!

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT:

The students have to pass both parts separately. Failure in any one of
them will result in failure of the whole course.

Full rotation of the course contributors will be scheduled to give every
student the opportunity to be exposed to all instructors. The grading criteria for
projects and procedures, according to which the student’s work is evaluated,
are included within these guidelines. The course grades earned will be
calculated as a weighted average.

Continuous Assessment:
1.
Practical continuous assessment
2.
Practical examinations (3 sets)
3.
Mid-year didactic exam
4.
Quizzes
Final Exams:

Final Practical Exam

Final Didactic Written Exam
TOTAL GRADE

COURSE PROTOCOL:

1. ATTENDANCE

Attendance to the lecture and patient simulation clinical sessions are
mandatory and of primary importance.

Being ten (10) minutes late to the lecture will be considered as absent
and 15 minutes late to the session will also be considered as being
absent.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of absence from the lecture/patient simulation
clinic will deprive the students from taking the final exam (university
rules and regulations).

Work missed due to unexcused absences will receive a “0” grade if not
finished by the assigned time.

In order for an absence to be excused, it must be approved by the vice
dean for academic affairs on the day of the absence.

All projects must be signed by your Instructor prior to request of an
excused absence.

Past performance on daily work and the reason for the absence will be
taken into consideration when considering your request.

2. EXAMINATION

There will be a mid-year Didactic exam.

Quizzes will be given as indicated in the schedule or at the course
director’s discretion. No-make ups will be allowed for quizzes that are
missed.

There will be three (3) practical examinations and a final practical exam
as scheduled. No make-ups will be allowed for practical exams missed.

3. CHEATING

Cheating will not be tolerated. Students found cheating during the
quizzes and the mid-year exam will be given an automatic failure. An
automatic failure in the course will be given to those having their work
made by someone else.

During practical examinations you are not allowed to communicate or
look at others or their work. You will always work with dentoform in the
stand and in a correct position. You are not to remove or change teeth
once a practical exam has started without one of the Instructor's
approval. Lack of observation of any of these rules or additional rules
that may be given during a practical exam, will constitute an automatic
failure.

4. PROFESSIONALISM

One of the learning objectives of this course is professionalism and
professional responsibility. Cleanliness and organization are critical in
the delivery of quality health care. Cleanliness in attire will be evaluated
daily. Maintain a clean professional atmosphere, personally and in the
work area. It is your responsibility to keep it clean. Throw all waste into
proper waste receptacles. If a student is observed, leaving waste on the
benches and/or floor, including pour-up areas and general areas, they
will be warned. If immediate corrective action is not taken, points will be
deducted.

Students must follow the infection control protocol. Every student should
wear the clinical uniform adopted by the school. Also, protective glasses
or shields must be used during the use of rotary instruments.

REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS:

Fundamentals of Fixed Prosthodontics (Third Edition) Herbert T. Shillingburg,
