Syllabus
Course Objectives
Acquire clinical and technical knowledge of design, construction and application of removable partial prosthetic devices, aimed at the rehabilitation of partial edentulism. At the end of the course, the student recognizes clinical signs and symptoms of alterations and diseases of the oral cavity, in order to formulate a correct diagnosis and a removable prosthetic treatment plan in the case of partial edentulism. The student knows how to set up a temporary and definitive prosthetic therapy for the restoration of aesthetics and masticatory function. In particular, the student has knowledge of dental occlusion, the functional anatomy of the temporomandibular joint, the general principles of design of removable partial prostheses, the materials for temporary and definitive prosthetic rehabilitations, the different phases of dental processing and the clinical tests of the removable partial prosthetic device. He has knowledge of the clinical phases of execution and the phases of delivery and remote control.
Course Prerequisites
Basic knowledge in anatomy, dental material, stomatologic special pathology, gnatology, dental hygiene, conservative dentistry and endodontics, periodontology.
Teaching Methods
The course is organized in frontal lessons through on-screen presentations and insights on the blackboard. The approach used is 'problem solving' with interactive discussion aimed at understanding experimental data and the clinical application of scientific evidence and the theoretical concepts
Assessment Methods
Oral exam with questions on topics of the course. The student must demonstrate that he has acquired the topics of the course and the ability to apply them in clinical practice.

(Kennedy classification and Applegate modifications).
PARTIAL REMOVABLE PROSTHESIS
Management of the prosthetic patient:
