Skills Covered

In-Depth Exploration of Dental Prosthetics and Techniques

The Dental Technician Skills and Prosthetics Training offers a thorough exploration of the critical competencies needed for success in the field of dental prosthetics. Participants will start with an overview of various types of prosthetic devices, including crowns, bridges, partial and complete dentures, as well as implant-supported options. Each type will be examined in detail, emphasizing their indications, contraindications, and the processes involved in their creation. The training module will delve into the latest advancements in dental materials, including ceramics, metals, and polymers, allowing trainees to make informed decisions on material selection based on patient needs and aesthetic considerations. A section on digital dentistry will cover CAD/CAM technologies, 3D printing, and how these innovations are revolutionizing prosthetic design and production, leading to improved accuracy and faster turnaround times. Hands-on sessions will ensure that participants can apply learned skills in a practical setting. They will undertake projects that involve making impressions, creating models, and fabricating prosthetics in lab simulations, guided by experienced professionals. Troubleshooting and adjustment techniques will be emphasized to prepare trainees for real-world scenarios they may encounter in dental laboratories. Finally, the course will incorporate patient communication strategies, focusing on how technicians can better understand and respond to patient feedback, ultimately enhancing the overall patient experience. By the end of this training, participants will walk away with not only technical skills but also the confidence to implement these techniques in their everyday practice.
