Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Successfully completed study course Preclinical Course in Prosthetic Dentistry II (ZPK_024). Human anatomy, dental anatomy, histology, medical physics with biomaterials, general medical chemistry, English. After 6th semester: basic knowledge of cardiology, endodontics, periodontology and oral surgery, radiology. Successfully completed previously completed all study courses.
Objective:
To acquire knowledge and comprehension of types of dentures, biomechanics and biomaterials. To gain practical skills in clinical work practising on simulators.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Within the framework of individual work the students are able to improve their manual skills practising on virtual dental simulators and, at specified times, make certain types of procedures in preclinic, preparing for the planned lesson. According to the list on e-studies: acquire theory and read recommended publications, comprehension of content will be controlled by e-tests during the lessons.
Assessment Criteria:
For the entire period – active participation in practical classes. Assessment for every manipulation carried out during practical classes and e-test on theoretical questions. 3 colloquiums – evaluation of preparing teeth and making temporary crown in addition to theory questions on themes acquired during the semester.
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		Upon successful completion of the study course the students will be able to describe stages of treatment, technologies and materials applied for treatment, instruments used in prosthetics, making removable and non-removable dentures. The students will be able to create a simple prosthetic treatment plan.
Skills:		Upon successful completion of the study course the students will be able to perform following manipulations: tooth preparation according to the principles of biomechanics, making provisional crowns, taking impressions of all types of dentures, post and core modelling, bite registration, fitting the framework of crowns and cast dentures, trying of dentures, denture adjustments, cementing crowns and fixed partial dentures as well as simple treatment plan presentation and drawing design of prosthesis.
Competencies:		Upon successful completion of the study course the students will be able to justify necessity of manipulations, selection of instruments and materials as well as to critically evaluate their own failures and treatment related risks.
