Fixed Prosthodontics-Impressions Preps Posts
Traditional Prosthodontics at its best!
These systems are tried and tested longer than implants. The importance of tooth supported fixed restorations such as RBB (resin bonded bridges). Crowns & bridges indications and contraindications are discussed in detail
We need to cater for those patients who cannot have dental implant supported restorations and require replacement of missing teeth
Course Outline​
This section is comprised of three parts stressing conservative, mechanical, biological and aesthetic principles for indirect restorations
- Adhesive restorations; RBB (resin-bonded bridges) inlays/onlays
- Tooth preparation: however conservation is stressed Single crowns in zirconia Emax (lithium disilicate) & metal ceramic Rationale for case selection & preparation design
- Bridgework: fixed -fixed, semifixed connection Rationale for case selection, bridgework & preparation design This module continues to module 12 Full mouth rehabilitation

Course Topics​
- Conservation of remaining tooth tissue
- Prevention of damage to pulp, adjacent teeth, or periodontal tissues
- Aesthetics: marginal design & case selection
- RBB (resin bonded bridges)
- Resistance, retention and structural integrity of the foundation core & restoration
- Contingency planning
