Advanced Dental Technology Studies

Evaluate the principles and techniques associated with the design and construction of  implants, both intra- and extra-oral.

• Apply a knowledge of the use of CAD/CAM and its potential as an aid to treatment in the fields of dentistry and maxillo-facial restorations.synthesise the potential disturbance of patients with acquired and congenital defects.
• Evaluate methods involved in the treatment and construction of appliances for maxillo-facial patients.
• Apply techniques which are used to construct prostheses with alternative retention techniques.
• Acquire  the ability to analyse techniques used in one discipline, apply them to another and be able to form positive connections between the them (e.g. attachments, orthodontics and oral surgery, conservation and prosthetics)
• Discuss the methodology associated with modern design concepts. (e.g. Rotational Path of Insertion and RPI, tooth mobility and its possible avoidance, alveolar and occlusal tooth loading.
