This independent study course allows for certification of any or all of the following skills:
Take Final Impressions: Creates an exact, stable negative replica of the prepared tooth structure and its margins
Take Occlusal Registration: Records the exact relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth so the laboratory technician can align the models correctly.
Fabricate Provisional Restorations: Provisional (temporary) restorations protect the prepared pulp, maintain the tooth's position, restore function, and keep the gums healthy while the final lab restoration is being made.
Remove Gingival Retraction: Deflect the gum tissue away from the prepared tooth margins, providing a dry, visible field for an accurate impression.
