Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- 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.
- 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.
- Critically evaluate the use of provisional/temporary indirect restorations paying particular attention to form and function and demonstrate the clinical application of this technique.
- 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.
- Apply the principles of self-evaluation in advanced restorative procedures, recognising personal skill limitations and be able to demonstrate this in reflective practice.
