Prosthodontics II is a comprehensive and advanced theoretical course designed to deepen students' understanding of prosthodontic principles and practices related to complete and partial removable dentures. Students will explore and evaluate a wide range of treatment options, integrating both conventional techniques and emerging CAD/CAM technologies in removable prosthodontics. Emphasis is placed on digital dentistry applications, including virtual design, digital impressions, and both additive and subtractive manufacturing methods for removable prostheses.
Core topics include the principles of impression-making, occlusal concepts, and the theoretical foundations of denture waxing, processing, insertion, and follow-up care. Students will also design and critically assess removable partial dentures (RPDs), applying classification systems, biomechanical principles, and design criteria. This course aims to provide a robust theoretical foundation in removable prosthodontics, blending digital advancements with conventional approaches to support evidence-based clinical decision-making and future professional practice.
