This study revised the fixed prosthodontic curriculum to a patient-centered, competency-based model. The new dental education approach prioritizes patient care skills and communication over laboratory work.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Prosthodontics
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Observed shifts in private prosthodontic practice patterns.
  • Evolving literature in fixed prosthodontics.
  • Increasingly crowded dental school curricula necessitate reform.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revise the traditional fixed prosthodontic curriculum.
  • To align dental education with patient-centered care principles.
  • To integrate current private practice trends and national standards.

Main Methods:

  • Shifted focus from student-generated laboratory products to patient care activities.
  • Implemented a patient-driven, competency-based, and criterion-referenced program.
  • Incorporated validated pedagogical strategies, including self and peer evaluation.
