Restorative Dentistry
My Courses
A study of the principles and procedures of constructing a maxillary immediate denture and a surgical template. Also fabricating a Hader Bar and clips for an overdenture mandibular denture completed.
This course covers applications of advanced level techniques, which include the fabrication processes used in flexible partial dentures, maxillofacial/anaplastology (ear, nose or facial replacement parts), and whitening tray fabrication for patients of the Dental Hygiene Department. There will also be a variety of fabrication techniques used including injection and conventional techniques.
RESD 1115 Fixed Prosthodontics I
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).
RESD 1212 Fixed Prosthodontics II
The course is designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to fabricate multiunit fixed bridge restorations. The topics covered in the course include: handling, treatment and fabrication of the full arch casts and dies, identifying margins, pontic design, trimming and ditching dies, waxing and developing functional occlusion,spruing, investing, burnout, casting, soldering, bridge and clip bar seating, processing composite resin to metal frameworks, finishing and polishing. The lecture part of the course is conducted in class and online as outlined in RESD 1212 Calendar. RESD 1212 lecture materials will be available 24h/7 days a week on Blackboard.
The course, Fundamentals of Microbiology, has a lecture and laboratory component. The lecture focuses on the structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, interaction between the microbe and the host, and human diseases. Laboratory sessions focus on pure culture techniques, methods of staining and the microscopic, colonial and biochemical identification of saprophytic organisms. Overall Class Learning Outcomes (1) Use analytical and critical thinking skills to approach a research project. (2) Develop basic microbiology laboratory techniques. (3) Differentiate the various types of test used in identifying and classifying pathogenic microorganisms. (4) Use the scientific method to gather, analyze, interpret and present field base research project
My Projects
The CUNY Service Corps will mobilize CUNY students, faculty and staff to work on projects that improve the short and long-term civic, economic and environmental sustainability of New York City and of its residents and communities. The program’s goals are three-fold: for students to make a meaningful difference through service while gaining valuable real-world work experience, earning a wage, and where appropriate, receiving college credit; for faculty members and staff, through their work with students in the program, to have additional opportunities to apply their expertise to addressing many of the city’s key challenges; and for residents, communities, and project sponsors to realize concrete benefits as a result of CUNY Service Corps projects.
