LEARNING OUTCOMES
The Undergraduate Internship is performed in four months in the last two semesters of study (7 & 8). Its completion will help to integrate the graduateS more quickly and directly into the labor market. Its purpose is to offer students, before graduation, the opportunity to apply in practice and in real conditions of practice of the profession, what they have been taught during the theoretical and laboratory teaching at the Division of Dental Technology.
After the end of the internship, students will be able to:
• Know, plan and complete dental prosthetic tasks, collaborating with both fellow technicians and dentists, so they know which stages are of their responsibility and which of the dentist.
• come into contact with all the necessary materials and the corresponding instruments and devices required for the construction of high quality dental prosthetic work.
• know the structure and operation of dental laboratories, the social, economic and technological factors that affect working conditions
• actively participate in the processes and methods of production or provision of services.
• correlate the theoretical and laboratory knowledge acquired during the studies with the problems of theapplication areas as well as the contact of the Division of Dental Technology with the Dental Laboratories in order to create a two-way relationship between them.
SYLLABUS
The Undergraduate Internship is performed in two two months in the last two semesters of study (G & H). Its completion will help to integrate graduates more quickly and directly into the labor market. During the Undergraduate Internship, the students deal with all the stages of the construction of the dental prosthetic work of both Mobile and Removable Prosthetics. In particular, they manufacture total and partial dentures, inlays, crowns and bridges, as well as metal-ceramic or all-ceramic prostheses. In cases where the laboratory has a high degree of specialization, students may also participate in the construction of prosthetic work on implants or maxillofacial prosthetic work. They also manufacture orthodontic equipment. During their practice, students deals with techniques such as the manufacture of plaster casts, the manufacture of wax models, the casting of metal frames, the manufacture of acrylic prostheses, the grinding and polishing of the prostheses, etc.
