Lesson 1Bite analysis: overbite/overjet, tooth fitting, guiding teeth, wear patternsThis lesson go look at bite factors important for front prosthodontics, like overbite, overjet, tooth fitting, guidance ways, and wear marks, connecting them to grinding habits, failure risks, and planning for front guidance and fixes.
Measuring overbite and overjet accuratelyEvaluating maximum intercuspation contactsAssessing canine and incisal guidance patternsIdentifying wear facets and attrition patternsRelating occlusal findings to risk assessmentLesson 2Full medical and dental history focused on grinding and gum diseaseThis lesson go focus on taking structured medical and dental history for front fixed cases, stressing grinding, extra bite force, gum disease, body-wide factors, and past fix history that affect risks, outlook, and material choices.
Screening for systemic and medication factorsIdentifying bruxism and parafunctional habitsDocumenting periodontal disease historyReviewing prior restorations and failuresRisk stratification for complex anterior casesLesson 3Informed consent and records, talking alternatives and outlook to patientThis lesson go explain legal and right ways of informed consent in complex front prosthodontics, including records, showing choices, risks, gains, costs, and real outlook to help shared decisions and build trust with patients.
Essential elements of informed consentExplaining risks, benefits, and limitationsPresenting treatment alternatives and optionsDiscussing prognosis and maintenance needsDocumentation standards and record keepingLesson 4Digital records: mouth scanning steps, file types, and model checkingThis lesson go explore digital data taking for front prosthodontics, focusing on mouth scanning processes, clearness and file types, model true checks, and linking with design software to help wax builds, guides, and team planning.
Scanner calibration and infection controlScan path strategies for anterior segmentsManaging soft tissue and saliva during scanningFile formats, compression, and data exportDigital model verification and error detectionLesson 5Clinical check: soft tissues, tooth life, shaking, probe depths, gum pull-back measureThis lesson go describe step-by-step clinical check for front prosthodontics, including soft tissue look, tooth life test, shaking, probe depths, and gum pull-back, linking finds to outlook, fix edges, and need for gum treatment.
Extraoral and intraoral soft tissue assessmentTooth vitality testing and interpretationMobility grading and splinting considerationsProbing depths and attachment level chartingRecession measurement and mucogingival issuesLesson 6Problem list making and SMART treatment goals (working, beautiful, body-safe)This lesson go detail how to bring findings into a clear problem list and turn them into SMART goals that handle working, beauty, and body safety, guiding steps, risk handling, and talk with patient and team.
Organizing findings into a structured problem listDefining specific, measurable treatment outcomesFunctional goals for occlusion and phoneticsEsthetic goals for smile line and tooth displayBiologic goals for pulp, periodontium, and boneLesson 7Photo records: standard outside and inside mouth views and shade notesThis lesson go outline standard outside and inside mouth photo steps for front cases, including pull-back, mirrors, light, and shade notes, to help diagnosis, lab talk, and watching treatment results.
Standardized extraoral photographic viewsIntraoral retracted and mirror viewsCamera settings, lighting, and white balanceShade selection and mapping techniquesCommunicating shade data to the laboratoryLesson 8Bite machine choice and setting: half-adjustable machines, jaw settings, and wax-up valueThis lesson go review choice and use of half-adjustable bite machines for front cases, including facebow setting, jaw part adjustments, and adding wax-ups to see beauty, working, and fix space before treatment starts.

It stress root shape, bone levels, sickness, and body risks that affect support tooth choice and implant plans.
