FORMS OF TEACHING AND EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
The basic forms of education in the course are lectures and practical training. The lectures provide contemporary theoretical knowledge to students and they are usually realized as multimedia presentations as well as educational films on various types of prosthetic treatment with fixed and removable restorations. Practical training is conducted in special well equipped clinical rooms where students work on typodonts first, and later they perform treatment on real patients. Academic professors and assistant professors supervise the training, devise treatment plans and control treatment stages. The department of PDM has at its disposal a modern dental laboratory, used for the purposes of education - basically for casting fixed restorations, preparing study models, etc6. Contemporary CAD/CAM system and Center for Continuing Dental Education are a guarantee of advanced training on high professional level. Regular seminars and discussion on various topics of interest and clinical cases contribute to the assessment of students’ knowledge and developing their clinical thinking and decision making.
