This article describes a seminar/case-based, instructional model designed to simulate removable partial denture (RPD) problem-solving and decision-making processes encountered in third-year clinic in dental school and in dental general practice. Groups of approximately 20 second-year students (in the 3-year program) meet in a series of six 1-hour seminars during the first days of the course. Following the seminars, students complete an exercise on mouth preparation and multiple clasp and major connector designs on prototype casts. This is followed by survey-design exercises on casts of dentitions representing six variations of RPD requirements. Instructors assist students during the practice phase of each class. Each 2-hour practice session is followed by a 1-hour practical examination. The last day of the course is devoted to a comprehensive final practical examination on both maxillary and mandibular casts, incorporating any of the design features previously studied.
本文介绍了一种基于研讨会/案例的教学模式，旨在模拟牙科学校三年级临床课程和普通牙科实践中遇到的可摘局部义齿（RPD）问题解决和决策过程。在课程开始的几天里，大约20名二年级学生（参加三年制课程）分成小组，参加一系列六个1小时的研讨会。研讨会结束后，学生们在原型模型上完成口腔预备以及多种卡环和大连接体设计的练习。接下来是针对代表RPD要求六种变体的牙列模型进行调查设计练习。在每节课的练习阶段，教师会协助学生。每进行2小时的练习后，会进行1小时的实践考试。课程的最后一天专门对上颌和下颌模型进行全面的期末实践考试，涵盖之前学习的任何设计特征。
