Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Dental metals are among the most frequently used of all dental materials. Methods for processing dental metals include casting, welding, heat treatment, and polishing. This course focuses primarily on metal casting, covering its theory, characteristics, and an overview of the procedures involved, so that students grasp the content thoroughly. In addition, students will study the properties of resin molding from a dental materials science perspective. |
