2.00 Credits
The major content of this course includes an introduction to the study of dental materials including basic concepts in chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the chemical and physical properties of gypsum, resin, and wax used in dentistry. Basic manipulation of these materials is included in order to prepare the student for future use in the dental laboratory. Prerequisite: Admission into the DLT Program or consent of instructor. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
This course emphasizes the metallurgy of dental alloys including the mechanism of crystallization, strain hardening and the chemical process of corrosion. Materials associated with fabricating metal prostheses are studied and include impression materials, cast alloys and wrought alloys. Hazard and infection control procedures in the dental laboratory are presented as well as basic study of applicable physics and unit conversion. Prerequisite: DLT 111 or consent of instructor. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
The basic principles of complete denture prosthodontics is presented including the fundamentals of arranging and contouring artificial dentures. Identification of oral landmarks and changes that occur in the edentulous patient are discussed. Emphasis is placed on identifying the purpose and use of custom trays baseplates and occlusion rims. Laboratory procedures include fabricating custom trays, baseplates, occlusion rims, and a complete set of dentures. Prerequisite: Admission into the DLT Program. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
Advanced principles of complete denture prosthodonitics are presented including balanced, monoplane and lingualized occlusion. Emphasis is also placed on the considerations in the oral cavity that effect the success of removable prosthodontic treatment. Laboratory procedures include denture repairs, selective grinding and fabricating complete dentures. Prerequisite: DLT 121. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
The basic principles of removable partial denture prosthodontics are presented. Emphasis is placed on the fabrication procedures and understanding of the basics of survey and design. Detailed information about the various major and minor connectors is discussed as well as learning the Kennedy Classification system. Laboratory procedures include fabricating two removable partial dentures including the attachment of artificial denture teeth. Prerequisite: Admission into the DLT Program. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
Advanced principles of removable partial denture prosthodontics is presented with emphasis on design principles. Detailed information about direct retainers, indirect retainers, rests and bases is discussed. Laboratory procedures involve fabricating three removable partial dentures including the attachment of artificial denture teeth. Prerequisite: DLT 131. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
Theories of occlusion; interarch and intraarch relationships; the temporomandibular joint and its movements; articulators, interocclusal records, and face-bow transfer; occlusal schemes; and restorative considerations in occlusal therapy are discussed and/or put to practical application in this course. Prerequisite: Admission into the Dental Laboratory Program. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
The basic principles of crown and bridge fixed prosthodontics are presented including the fabrication of both single and multi-unit full metal restorations. Emphasis is placed on preparing and evaluating working casts waxing anatomical tooth patterns, spruing, investing, burnout, casting, and polishing. Additional laboratory procedures include fabricating restorations on various types of articulators, developing functional occlusion, and soldering. Prerequisite: Admission into the DLT Program. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
2.00 Credits
The basic principles of metal ceramic fixed prosthodontics are presented including the fabrication of both single and multi-unit restorations. Emphasis is placed on esthetic restorations, preparing and evaluating working casts, waxing substructure patterns, spruing, investing, burnout, casting, and polishing. Additional laboratory procedures include applying opaque, dentin, and enamel ceramic powders and contouring fired porcelain. Prerequisite: DLT 151. Lecture: 1 credit (15 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credit (45 contact hours).
-
8.00 Credits
Students fabricate a more complex variety of dental prostheses in four specialty areas: complete denture prosthodontics, removable partial denture prosthodontics, dental ceramics, and fixed prosthodontics (crown and bridge). Curriculum content includes reinforcement of techniques and procedures that are taught in the 100 level DLT courses. Emphasis will be placed on management of laboratory time and project load to improve the quantity and quality of laboratory work. Prerequisite: DLT 122, DLT 132, DLT 142, and DLT 152. Lecture: 2 credits (30 contact hours); Laboratory: 6 credits (270 contact hours).
