Dental lab. Technology

Dental Lab. Technology is the technical side of dentistry where a dental technician, on prex-scription of a dentist, makes any prosthesis or appliance such as full dentures, partial dentures, crowns, bridges, implant supported dentures and removable orthodontic appliances. Dental technicians do not have direct contact with patients. Instead they work in a dental laboratory where various prosthetic appliances are custom made. Dental technicians can be thought of as artists who, with a thorough understanding of dental materials science, use their artistic skills to fabricate the form, color and function of individual teeth or maxillofacial prostheses for a patient. The fact that the product can affect the health and appearance of a person demands of the technician a high level of responsibility and accuracy.
