Prosthodontics is a highly specialized sub-specialty of dentistry that deals with the treatment and correction of defects in appearance, in addition to speech and swallowing difficulties caused by injury or diseased condition. Prosthodontics usually utilize the use of dentures, dental implants, oral and facial prostheses to provide solutions to the various dental problems encountered by patients.
A practicing general dentist should be competent enough to deal with the basic dental procedures. Missing teeth has to be one of the most common dental problems that the clinicians encounter in their daily practice. While the Prosthodontists remain the recognized specialists in oral reconstruction and rehabilitation, a general dentist must possess clinical and technical skills along with scientific understanding of fixed and removable prosthodontics.
Having said that, the amount of training and clinical exposure provided in dental colleges is not sufficient enough to evaluate and execute prosthodontics rehabilitations independently. This culminates into multiple referrals, even for the simplest of cases. In order to support and encourage general dentists to enhance their skillsets in the field of prosthodontics, Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental Institute offers a fixed Prosthodontics course for 8 days.
Our Prosthodontics course at Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute is designed for dental practitioners who want to further their knowledge of prosthodontics up to specialist level. This course is curated with a vision for the students to develop skills in providing a range of procedures, including complex removable prostheses, implant-supported prostheses, integrated fixed and removable prostheses, and restoration of tooth wear using direct and indirect materials.
You will gain insight into clinical and technical skills, contemporary prosthodontic techniques, scientific understanding of fixed and removable prosthodontics, diagnosis and treatment planning and reflective prosthodontic practice.
In addition, the candidates are exposed to the philosophies and principles of prosthodontics treatment with fixed and removable prosthodontics.
The sole aim of this course to teach students the art of replacing oral structures along with emphasis on stress preservation and optimization of the supporting structures through a combined effort with the other dental specialties.

“WHEREVER THE ART OF MEDICINE IS LOVED, THERE IS ALSO LOVE FOR HUMANITY”
India has a large geriatric population of 77 million, comprising 7.7% of its total population. One of the major handicaps in the elderly is loss of teeth, affecting their mastication, dietary intake and nutritional status. (Courtsey: Shah N, Parkash H, Sunderman KR. Edentulousness, denture wear and denture needs of Indian elderly–a community-based study. J Oral Rehabil 2004;31:467-76.) The need for prosthodontic care for such patients is expected to increase due to the increase in life span of this group. Thus making Prosthodontics a highly coveted specialty of dentistry.
Our fixed prosthodontics course primarily enables students to attain the special knowledge and skills for proficiency in the theoretical and practical aspects of prosthodontics.
