Basics of dental technology: a step by step approach

Employing a task-based approach, the book offers step-by-step guidance to thecurrent techniques and materials used in dental technology. As well as providing thorough instruction as to core competencies in impression handling, modelproduction, tray construction, articulators and facebows, the book introducesthe reader to the basics of more specific and/or specialist areas of practice, such as complete and partial denture prosthetics, fixed prosthodontics, orthodontic work, maxillo-facial technology, occlusion and implants INDICE: Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION. 1.1 Introduction. 1.2 How to use this book. 1.3 Equipment and Instruments. 1.4 Health and safety in the dental laboratory. 1.5 Sterilisation and impression handling. 1.6 Introduction to model making. 1.7 Models for prosthodontics casting primary impressions. 1.8 Models for prosthodontics boxing-in impressions. 1.9 Models for prosthodontics casting working (secondary) impressions. 1.10 Models for prosthodontics models for cobalt-chromium frameworks. 1.11 Orthodontic study models. 1.12 Introduction to sectional models. 1.13 Producing a sectional model using a tray system. 1.14 Producing a sectional model using a pinned system. 1.15 Sectioning the model. 1.16 Introduction to articulating models. 1.17 Articulating models on a simple hingearticulator. 1.18 Articulating dentate models using the average position. 1.19 Articulating edentulous models using the average position. 1.20 Articulatingmodels using a facebow.
