Course Description

In this course,basic introduction of types, mechanical properties and selection of most common materials used in prosthodontics is taught. The tests for the determination of mechanical properites of the standart materials are shown, supoorted with laboratory applications. Students achieving this course gain basic material science konowledge essential for the selection materials considering force-stress-strenght of material relations and also gain the ability to perform standard mechanical tests for determining mechanical properties of materials.
