2.00 Credits
2 cl hrs, 2 cr (fall only) An introduction to non-metallic dental materials. The inherent characteristics, uses and limitations of dental laboratory materials are demonstrated and students practice the proper techniques of manipulating the materials in uncomplicated exercises. Familiarization with dental materials facilitates the development of psychomotor skills for subsequent dental laboratory technology courses. Students receive extensive training in infection control which conforms to OSHA, NADL and ADA guidelines. Prerequisites: CUNY certification in reading, writing and mathematics
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (fall only) A detailed study of tooth form, structure and function; drawings of 28 teeth, wax buildup and development of the anatomical crowns for maxillary and mandibular teeth. Prerequisite: CUNY certification in reading, writing and mathematics
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (fall only) Denture fabrication, including the interpretation of work authorizations, evaluating casts, fabricating impression trays, constructing baseplates and wax occlusal rims, articulating casts, set-up, wax-ups and contouring of full dentures. Prerequisite: CUNY certification in reading, writing and mathematics
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (fall only) An introduction to the theory and practice of fabricating fixed prostheses, including: construction of casts and dies, identifying margins, trimming and ditching dies, use of self articulation, developing wax patterns for crowns, inlays and onlays. Investing, casting, finishing and polishing of single-unit and provisional restorations. Prerequisite: CUNY certification in reading, writing and mathematics
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (spring only) Full denture construction, including postdams, insertion of reliefs, waxing and contouring for processing, flasking, wax elimination, processing, recovery, selective grinding, finishing and polishing of full dentures, relines and repairs. Prerequisite: RESD 1111/DL 111
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (spring only) Knowledge and skills required to fabricate multi-unit fixed bridge restorations. The topics cover the construction of full arch casts and dies, identification margins, trimming dies, waxing and developing functional occlusion, investing, casting, pontic design, soldering precious or non-precious metals, seating and finishing of castings, processing composite to restoration frameworks, provisional restorations and finishing and polishing metal to composite restorations. The fixed portion of an overdenture is also fabricated. Prerequisite: RESD 1115/DL 115
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (spring only) An introduction to the theory and techniques of ceramo-metal dental restorations, including crowns and pressable all ceramic restorations. Students perform the techniques required to produce a suitable fixed dental prosthesis. Laboratory techniques introduced include metal substructure, design and fabrication, porcelain build-up, firing, contouring, finishing and polishing to accuracy. Prerequisites: RESD 1110/DL 110, RESD 1115/DL 115
-
3.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 6 lab hrs, 3 cr (spring only) An introduction to the theory and practice of removable, partial denture construction. Surveying, designing, duplicating the master casts, wax-up and casting techniques are emphasized. Prerequisites: RESD 1110/DL 110, RESD 1111/DL 111
-
1.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 1 cr (spring only) The study of dental metallurgy, physical and mechanical properties of metals, their internal structure and types of precious and non-precious dental casting alloys and metals used in the laboratory. Soldering, welding and casting procedures and the associated types of investments and equipment used in these procedures. Polishing agents used for metals is also discussed. Proper handling and safety procedures are discussed. Prerequisite: RESD 1107/DL 107
-
2.00 Credits
1 cl hr, 3 lab hrs, 2 cr (fall only) An introduction to the principles of occlusion (gnathology), including the anatomical structures of the oral cavity, the determinants of occlusal morphology and the physiology of mandibular movements, as they relate to the fabrication of dental restorations. Three laboratory exercises in cusp-tomarginal ridge and cusp-to-fossa waxing, using semi-adjustable articulators, are performed. Prerequisite: Completion of all second-level courses
