• SDM RS 523: Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics
  This simulated clinic course provides experience and skill development with the procedures related to complete and partial denture construction. The course content includes the following: Fabrication of Complete Upper and Lower dentures with lingualized occlusion (from preliminary impressions to processing and occlusal equilibration), Anatomical Set-up in Bilateral Balance, Fabrication of Partial Upper and Partial Lower dentures (from preliminary survey to abutment preparation), Laboratory communication which will be stressed in all phases of Complete and Partial dentures.Survey & Design of 20 clinical cases in small student workshops facilitated by a clinical instructor.
• SDM RS 524: Fixed Prosthodontics I
  This course provides a comprehensive introduction to extracoronal full-coverage tooth restoration systems. The conceptual basis for both single-tooth crowns and multiple-tooth bridgework is presented.
• SDM RS 525: Preclinical Fixed Prosthodontics
  This simulated clinic course provides experience and skill development with single-tooth crowns and multiple-tooth bridgework.
• SDM RS 527: Occlusion
  This course takes the student from normal dental anatomy and occlusion, through analysis of deviations from normal or natural dentition, to an approach to maintenance of healthy occlusal patterns in restorative dentistry and correction of occlusal patterns and disharmonies. To help emphasize critical concepts, laboratory simulations provide students the opportunity to practice clinical procedures related to occlusal diagnosis and treatment. Concepts from the course are integrated with courses in operative dentistry, prosthodontics, periodontology, and orthodontics.
• SDM RS 529: Operative Dentistry
  This is a lecture course that addresses all aspects of Operative Dentistry. Topics include diagnosis and treatment planning, caries prevention & treatment, the concept of minimally invasive dentistry, simple and complex amalgam restorations, anterior and posterior composite resin restorations, cast gold and ceramic inlays and onlay preparations & temporization , conventional and CAD-CAM scanning & fabrication of inlays & onlays, try-in and cementation of all types of indirect restorations, direct and indirect veneers, the restoration of endodontically treated teeth, the concept of pulpal protection and the techniques of pulp-capping. This course focuses on clinically relevant topics and compliments the preclinical and clinical courses in Operative Dentistry (RS 521, GD 630, and RS 540).
• SDM RS 542: Treatment Planning Seminar
  This seminar course focuses on real-world problem solving. There is a special emphasis on decision-making and patient communication in a private practice setting. It is an interactive course given in small group format.
