This course continues on from the previous courses on Fixed Prosthodontics. The theory and practice of bridgework, where multiple teeth are manufactured together in a restoration, are taught, demonstrated and applied. Previous theories and applications of associated biomaterials and techniques are developed for this more advanced course. It concludes the teaching of Fixed Prosthodontics.
