Abstract
During their education, dental students seek to be involved in comprehensive esthetic
treatment for the rehabilitation of lost, damaged, or discolored tooth structure.
Due to technological advances and patient exposure to dental advertising, recent dental
school graduates can find themselves under great expectations with limited clinical
experience. With the implementation of an oral health and rehabilitation department
at the University of Louisville Dental School, dental students have the opportunity
to plan treatment and treat such patients under the supervision of faculty with advanced
training in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry. The work flow of multiple consecutive
lithium disilicate ceramic prostheses using a digital impression, virtual CAD/CAM
design, and milled fabrication as planned and executed by a senior dental student
is presented.
