Learning outcomes of the course unit
Provide students with the essential theoretical and practical knowledge which will enable a systematic and rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment of oral rehabilitation with fixed and removable restorations, both partial and total, so as to enable it to design and implement the most common prosthetic.
Have completed all tests 1, 2, 3 and 4 years and Periodontology.
Having attended lectures and exercises of Prosthodontics.
