Introduction Into Dental Laboratory Technology
A Four Part Course
This course provides participants with a foundational overview of dental laboratory technology, and the essential role dental laboratories play in the dental team. This introductory session is designed for individuals who are new to dental laboratory technology or who would benefit from a stronger understanding of basic dental terminology, tooth anatomy, restorative categories, and how dental prescriptions are used to fabricate dental restorations.
During the course, participants are introduced to key concepts such as dental restorations, maxillary and mandibular arches, anterior and posterior teeth, tooth surfaces, fixed and removable restorations, and the use of articulators to simulate jaw movement. The course helps build a basic framework for understanding how dental laboratories support dentists and patients through the design and fabrication of dental prosthetics and restorations.
