Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  1. Apply the principles underpinning material and restoration selection and tooth preparation and demonstrate appropriate clinical skills to support the delivery of indirect or advanced restorations.
  2. Demonstrate competence in carrying out a full assessment of a clinical case where aesthetics are of particular importance and apply this in a clinical scenario.
  3. Critically evaluate the use of provisional/temporary indirect restorations paying particular attention to form and function and demonstrate the clinical application of this technique.
  4. Explore and apply the principles and methods for colour matching of teeth to assist with the design of indirect restorations and evaluate methods for communicating this information to a patient or dental technician team member.
  5. Apply the principles of self-evaluation in advanced restorative procedures, recognising personal skill limitations and be able to demonstrate this in reflective practice.
