Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Dental anatomy and occlusion, dental materials, preclinical course in cariology and prosthodontics, periodontology, endodontology, computer knowledge.
Objective:
Introduce students with the basics of microprosthodontics, give the understanding about transition between operative dentistry to prosthodontics, improve knowledge in dental materials, introduce with advantages of digital dentistry, CAD/CAM produced indirect tooth restorations (ITR), explain digital workflow in dentistry, make an (ITR) in preclinic and learn to cement them.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
1. Analysis of one article about ITR or digital dentistry (20%) - independent work. 2. Test in e-studies (20%) 3. Semester paper. Description of the one clinical case: diagnosis, planning of the ITR, material choice, cementation procedure (30%) - independent work. 4. Producing of one ITR in preclinic (30%). The student are asked to fill the course evaluation questionnaire.
Assessment Criteria:
Participation in seminars and production of ITR, successfully passed final test, submitted semester paper and article analysis. Final grade or exam is accumulated, will be calculated from 4 grades before.
Final Examination (Full-Time):Exam

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:On successful completion of the course students will know the basics of the microprosthodontics: evaluation of teeth, teeth preparation and preservation for ITR, correct usage of materials and instruments, analogue and digital impressions, CAD/CAM systems in microprosthodontics, cementation of ITR.
Skills:Practical ability to restore teeth with inlays, onlays, veneers, partial crowns made from different materials, using analogue and digital workflow.
Competencies:Ability to use theoretical and practical knowledge in microprosthodontics in everyday dental practice, offering the patients more therapy modalities using appropriate materials and techniques.
