Prosthetic Dentistry - Clinic (ZPK_028)
About Study Course
Objective
Develop students' skills in the clinic by diagnosing oral cavity pathologies in patients using modern and up-to-date technologies. Create a treatment plan for a real patient in dental prosthetics, thereby developing skills and competence in clinical work, as well as understanding the theoretical rationale for the chosen prosthetic treatment plans.
Prerequisites

Learning outcomes
As a result of successfully completing the study course, students will be able to define patient problems and outline treatment plans for dental prosthetics in clinical situations. Students will be able to describe the treatment stages, applicable treatment technologies, and the materials and instruments used in dental prosthetics, including the fabrication of removable and fixed dental prostheses. They will use knowledge about the use of digital technologies in dental prosthetics.
As a result of successfully completing the study course, students will be able to develop treatment plans for dental prosthetics in clinical situations and carry out prosthetics with both fixed and removable dental prostheses. They will be able to perform clinical work stages in practical clinical situations and use intraoral scanners.
When creating a treatment plan, students will be able to correctly organize, process, and interpret the information obtained from clinical examinations. In clinical work with patients, students will be able to independently solve various problem situations while performing dental prosthetics in simple clinical cases. Students will be able to evaluate the necessity of using intraoral scanners in different clinical situations.
