Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Dental metal processing techniques, which are most commonly used for dental biomaterials, include casting, welding, heat treatment, and polishing. Among them, metal casting is selected as the main topic, and lectures on the overview of the theory, characteristics, and techniques are given to promote the understanding of the contents. In addition, the characteristics of resin are studied from the point of view of dental materials science and technology. Safety management in dental technology is also studied.
