This course is held once a week during the second semester of the graduate program’s first year.  The course will generally follow a seminar format in which students will discuss specific topics in Operative Dentistry, with emphasis on techniques applied to single tooth direct and indirect intra-coronal restorations.  Topics cover selection of materials and techniques used for the management of dental caries, tooth wear and anomalies affecting the structure of teeth along with complications and survival/ success of such restorations.  Knowledge gained from this seminar will contribute to proficiency of students during clinical management of patients.
