Course Content of 30.32-Quick Study Models Fabrication Course
Plaster study models illustrating the maximum intercuspation of the teeth of a patient have been an essential diagnostic tool for orthodontists for decades. In this time of transition from trimmed hand-held plaster models to intraoral scans of the teeth and digital models, it is essential that dental practitioners know how to fabricate quick plaster models to evaluate the occlusion when the patient is not present. These properly trimmed models should show the habitual occlusion of the patient. They should also be trimmed relative to the stable midpalatal raphe as a reference line to evaluate dental symmetry in each arch.
This course was put together quickly when it was evident that dental students did not know how to pour and trim quick study models so that they would be diagnostic for occlusion. This course should be redone, but until then, it is the only course available online.
The Educational Goal and Objectives for 30.32-Quick Study Models Fabrication Course
Goal - The goal of this course is to train the student to fabricate quick plaster study models from alginate impressions that are diagnostic of occlusal relationships and dental symmetry.
Objectives - At the conclusion of this presentation the learner will:
- Pour alginate impressions using orthodontic plaster.
- Lay the set arch dentition models on poured preformed bases
- Trim the poured plaster models so that they will occlude together when placed on their backs on a flat surface reflecting the true occlusion of the patient and trimmed to diagnose dental symmetry.
