Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:

The curricular unit is divided into the following: fixed prosthodontics, removable partial prosthodontics, occlusion.
Goals & Skills to be attained:

  • The student is expected to be able to define fixed prosthodontics, removable partial prosthodontics and occlusion.
  • The student is expected to demonstrate both in writing and orally, as well as in simulators that he/she has acquired the basic knowledge that allows him/her to plan and make a unitary fixed prosthesis and a removable partial prosthesis whilst complying with the principles of occlusion.
  • The student is expected to be able to demonstrate the principles that apply to oral prosthetic rehabilitations.
  • To develop in the student study habits, together with accuracy and precision in the usage of technical and professional vocabulary.
  • To stimulate the curiosity and interest of the student so as to have him/her contribute with (new) ideas to the development of occlusion.
  • To identify and describe the stomatognathic system.
