Overview
Prosthodontics for Practice
The Prosthodontics for Practice course aims to deal with conventional prosthodontic issues relevant to every-day practice. The course will focus on enhancing clinical skills required for these technique-sensitive procedures.
There is an online lecture component which participants must attend before undertaking the face to face hands-on sessions at the Melbourne Dental School.
The face to face sessions will be structured around each of the treatment options. Individual lectures will be given in the laboratory and will be immediately followed by the appropriate laboratory exercise. The laboratory exercises will be constructed around a clinical case requiring an extensive range of treatment modalities to be covered.
