Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Dentistry, Professor Dr. Raghd Abdul Razzaq Mohammed, the College of Dentistry at the University of Baghdad organized a continuing education course entitled:
“Selection of Articulator for Different Prosthodontic Treatment.”
The course was attended by a number of faculty members of the college.
The course aimed to explain how to use and apply the fully adjustable articulator in dentistry, particularly in the design and fabrication of dental prostheses.
The course covered several key topics, including:
1. Understanding the Fundamentals:
This included explaining the concept of the fully adjustable articulator and its importance in dentistry, introducing the basic anatomy of the jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and clarifying how these factors influence the use of articulators.
2. Mastering Technical Features:
This involved learning how to adjust various articulator settings such as condylar inclination and Bennett angle, and how these adjustments improve the accuracy of prostheses and reduce occlusal problems.
3. Practical Applications:
The course demonstrated how to use the articulator in designing and fabricating crowns, bridges, and complete dentures, with practical examples and case studies illustrating its benefits in different clinical situations.
4. Modern Technology:
Participants explored the role of virtual articulators and digital technology in enhancing the design and fabrication of dental prostheses, and learned how to integrate these technologies into daily dental practice.
5. Enhancing Clinical Skills:
The course focused on developing the ability to select the appropriate type of articulator based on clinical case evaluation and improving efficiency in its use to ensure more accurate and effective treatment outcomes.
The course recommended the importance of in-depth knowledge of how to properly use the fully adjustable articulator and apply it efficiently in clinical practice to achieve precise and highly functional dental restorations
