TANNPRA1B Practice in Removable Prosthetics Course description

The course is based on the course TANN2400 for students who have chosen to specialise in removable prosthetics. The main part of the course is taken as a continuous 16-week period of external practical training. The external practical training is normally taken in dental technology enterprises in Norway. The course offers an opportunity for internationalisation in that that students can spend three months on exchange to a partner institution abroad.

The learning outcomes from previous courses are relevant to this course and are integrated and tested in a context of professional socialisation and cooperation with practising dental technicians and other professional groups that are part of the dental health team. Students will develop their practical skills and action competence by participating in actual professional work and challenges. During the external practical training at a laboratory, the students will make complete and partial prosthetics, hard bite splints and orthodontic apparatuses. 

The course consists of the following subjects, with credits specified:

• Professional interaction 4 sp,
• Partial and complete prosthetics 13 sp.
• Orthodontic apparatuses 6 sp.
