Abstract EN
Background and aim: The crown and bridge work involves clinical and laboratory stages.
The dental technician should provide the dentists with high-quality work.
The aim of this study was to assess the quality of working casts for crown and bridgework provided to undergraduate dental students.
Methods: Sixty eight working casts used to make crown and bridge work for undergraduate dental students were assessed for a number of factors related to quality, in Fixed Prosthodontics Department at Damascus University.
Results: The teeth were complete in 76.5% of the cases.
The dies were free of bubbles in 73.5% of the cases, had die spacer in 2,9%, not stable in 17.6%, properly trimmed in 41.2% of them.
The articulator was used in 61.8% of the cases.
Conclusion: Quality of working casts for crown and bridgework provided to undergraduate students is a cause for concern if the sample of cases seen in this study is typical.
So, more attention should be paid to laboratory aspect during the undergraduate study in dental faculties.
Index words: working casts, die spacer, articulator.
