This document outlines the teaching plan and units for an operative dentistry course for third year students. It includes 2 hours per week of lectures and 4 hours of practical/laboratory work over 8 units. The units cover topics like cavity preparation methods and materials, dental restorations using amalgam and composites, and teaching students clinical skills like cavity preparations and restorations on simulated teeth and eventually on patients. The goal is for students to master instruments and materials, understand tooth structure and be able to perform restorations independently.
