Simulate assisting with a fixed prosthodontics procedure.

Simulation should include

  • preparing the instrument tray
  • selecting materials and disposables
  • identifying the criteria for determining the material used to construct the crown and bridge
  • taking bite registration (e.g., using computer-aided design and computer aided-manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology)
  • fabricating cementing and removing temporary crowns
  • removing excess cement from coronal surfaces of teeth
  • delivering pre- and post-operative instructions. 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What is used to displace gingival tissue during a crown and bridge preparation?
  • What does the dentist use to reduce the height and contour of a tooth for a casting?
  • What types of impressions are used during a crown preparation?
