• followed 1 set of sequenced written instructions and the manufacturers’ instructions for preparing materials used in immediate dentures
• used standard precautions and safe work practices to construct an immediate denture from at least one denture suitable for insertion in the mouth including 1 of each of the following:
- maxillary or mandibular anterior tooth with at least one of the following:
o flanged denture with bone re-contouring
o flanged denture without bone re-contouring
o open-faced denture
- maxillary or mandibular posterior tooth with at least one of the following:
o flanged denture with bone re-contouring
o flanged denture without bone re-contouring
o open-faced denture
• critically evaluated the 1 immediate denture produced to meet technical laboratory and patient requirements.
To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency.
Regular attendance is necessary.
Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks and consist of theory and practical based tasks.
Assessment Tasks
