Pre-Dental Course III - ART OF MAKING A DENTURE
The Pre-Dental Clinical Simulation Course III will involve construction of dentures involving arrangement of denture teeth on a wax rim, using skills learned in previous courses. Participants will need to concentrate and pay attention to small details such as: the vertical dimension of both arches, complete contact with both upper and lower teeth, and contouring of denture wax-up. The objective of this course is to help achieve fine-motor skills in order to work on dentures. Also, to create an artistic view in setting denture teeth in a timely manner. Participants will use a step-by-step guide that will expose them to dental terminology, dental anatomy and occlusion. Fine motor skills, attention to to details, and artistic ability are all attributes demonstrated in this course and in dentistry.
