The term crown and bridge hands-on course doesn’t do justice to what this course offers, because it goes well beyond teaching us the tooth preparation and fabrication of crowns. All the participants of the course did not only learn to perfect the concept of preparation of tooth but also learnt the diagnosis, decision-making (regarding the type of crown), importance of photography and microscopes in dentistry.
As opposed to the arbitrary approach that is directly starting the procedure, Dr. Rajat presses on the importance of visualizing the end-result before we begin. This not only guides the dentist to carry out his procedure effectively, but also reassures the patient.
Not every clinic in India are using intraoral scanners and getting a chance to do it during the course was a golden opportunity. Completing this course has definitely given me an upper hand in such cases now as I can now independently perform tooth preparation, advanced impression techniques, giving provisional or temporaries and final cementation.
This course should definitely be on your list if you are looking to upskill your prosthodontics acumen.
