What is DENT2012 about?

In this unit you will get an introduction to dental material sciences and analyse the different characteristics of dental materials.

Prosthodontics will provide you with different treatment options to repair damaged or missing teeth and how the visual appearance of teeth can be improved. You will gain broad knowledge of prosthodontic and restorative treatments and learn which techniques are within the scope of practice from an oral health therapist. You will be familiarised with fixed and removable prosthodontic solutions, orthodontics and the importance of maintenance strategies (including dental implants).
