| Summary | The aim of this course is to explore sub-specialities of dentistry that support the delivery of prosthodontic care. |
| Course description |
In many cases, advanced prosthodontics is provided only after the stabilisation phase of treatment for patients. In order to synthesise holistic treatment plans, a prosthodontist must have sound knowledge of other subspecialties directly linked to it. Knowledge of Endodontic, Periodontal and Interdisciplinary approaches is essential to determine tooth prognosis and inform the treatment planning process. This knowledge and understanding is critical in developing a prosthodontist as leader in their field of dentistry.
This course will review key areas within these fields including:
Endodontic: surgical endodontics, endodontic outcomes
Periodontics: Surgical crown lengthening, root coverage procedures, management of aggressive periodontitis, management of furcation lesions, outcomes in periodontal treatment.
Interdisciplinary: Managemnet of patients with Hypodontia, Oral rehabilitation or head and neck oncology patients.
Students will also be asked to prepare material in advance and present some cases to discuss via short presentations. Emphasis will be placed on students taking responsibility of exploring broader areas around the course themes as applied to clinical care.
