What is your view regarding pre-clinical prosthodontic training during the initial years of dental study? How relevant is it?
Prosthodontics is a dental area where you will always be in training mode.
As soon as you start the greater skills you will develop in the future.
So yes, once you have the basics you should start reading the protocols and training in models/casts/"dental toys". Firstly, you will have to think to operate, but after you have done it dozens, hundreds of times you won't have to think that much and your hands will move easily;
Things you should practice:
- Dental preparations for restoring with amalgam and gold;
- Dental preparations for crowns, venners;
- Wax/Mock up;
- Doing provisionals;
- Be aware of the removable dentures protocol in clinc and in lab (step by step), the complete denture is the mother of oral rehabilitation..
I hope to have helped you. Good luck
Do you have a knowledge of previous publications which has tried to probe into understanding the effectiveness of the pre-clinical seasions in prosthodontics specifically
I think that interdisciplinariety in the better way in prosthodontics. Needs know patient's desire and expectation to do a good work
Is very relevant and important to learn how to handle the handpieces, the ergonomic posture, and to simulate the full prosthodontic treatment plan beginning from the wax up, mock up,clin8cal steps of preparation, impression, try-in and the final cementation
