DMD-709: Operative II

This course builds upon foundational operative dentistry principles and focuses on the diagnosis, preparation, and restoration of carious lesions using amalgam and resin-based composite materials. Through integrated didactic instruction and simulation-based laboratory experiences, students develop advanced skills in cavity preparation design, material selection, esthetics, and functional restoration, which includes GV Black principles. Emphasis is placed on clinical reasoning, self-assessment, and progressive readiness for patient care in a simulated clinical environment.
