Com­plete Den­ture I is an in­tro­duc­tion to basic tech­niques of full den­ture con­struc­tion. This course will in­clude anatom­i­cal ter­mi­nol­ogy as it re­lates to full den­ture con­struc­tion, fab­ri­cat­ing of cus­tom im­pres­sion trays, con­struct­ing base­plates and oc­clusal rims, ar­tic­u­lat­ing casts, set-up of max­il­lary and mandibu­lar op­pos­ing wax trial den­tures using anatom­i­cal ar­ti­fi­cial teeth, fes­toon­ing and con­tour­ing of full wax trial den­ture bases.

Complete Denture I is an introduction to basic techniques of full denture construction. This course will include anatomical terminology as it relates to full denture construction, fabricating of custom impression trays, constructing baseplates and occlusal rims, articulating casts, set-up of maxillary and mandibular opposing wax trial dentures using anatomical artificial teeth, festooning and contouring of full wax trial denture bases.

An in­tro­duc­tion to the the­ory and prac­tice of fab­ri­cat­ing fixed pros­the­ses in­clud­ing the con­struc­tion of casts and dies, iden­ti­fy­ing mar­gins, trim­ming, ditch­ing, and ar­tic­u­la­tion. Cre­ation of pro­vi­sional, com­pos­ite resin and full metal cov­er­age restora­tions in­clud­ing inlay/onlay, full an­te­rior and pos­te­rior crown. De­vel­op­ment of wax pat­terns for pro­vi­sional restora­tion, as well as for full metal cov­er­age, inlay and crown. De­vel­op­ment of func­tional oc­clusal re­la­tion­ships, spru­ing, in­vest­ing, burnout, cast­ing, fin­ish­ing and pol­ish­ing of sin­gle unit restora­tions. This course is a hy­brid/ par­tially on­line course with lec­ture part being held 50% on­line and 50% in class. This course meets the stan­dards of a WI (Writ­ing In­ten­sive) course as spec­i­fied by CUNY. NYCCT re­quires all as­so­ci­ate de­gree stu­dents to pass two WI courses (one in the core cur­ricu­lum and one in the major), and all bac­calau­re­ate de­gree stu­dents to pass four WI courses (two in the core cur­ricu­lum and two in the major, with two of these passes prior to the com­ple­tion of 45 cred­its).

An introduction to the theory and practice of fabricating fixed prostheses including the construction of casts and dies, identifying margins, trimming, ditching, and articulation. Creation of provisional, composite resin and full metal coverage restorations including inlay/onlay, full anterior and posterior crown. Development of wax patterns for provisional restoration, as well as for full metal coverage, inlay and crown. Development of functional occlusal relationships, spruing, investing, burnout, casting, finishing and polishing of single unit restorations. This course is a hybrid/ partially online course with lecture part being held 50% online and 50% in class. This course meets the standards of a WI (Writing Intensive) course as specified by CUNY. NYCCT requires all associate degree students to pass two WI courses (one in the core curriculum and one in the major), and all baccalaureate degree students to pass four WI courses (two in the core curriculum and two in the major, with two of these passes prior to the completion of 45 credits).
