On May 12 and 13, 2022, the V Olympiad for students of the Ural Scientific and Educational Cluster in indirect restoration was held on the basis of the Department of Orthopedic Dentistry and General Dentistry. Since this event is traditional, three universities prepared teams of up to 2 people each. These are 4th year students who needed to complete several tasks in the presence of a jury and numerous observers – students of our dental faculty.

On human head simulators, it was necessary to prepare artificial teeth for an all-ceramic crown and ceramic veneer. Next, it was necessary to obtain a high-quality impression using modern impression materials using impression transfers for the manufacture of a working model with abutment analogues. This task is quite difficult even for a dentist, orthopedist with work experience. To check the precision of the manipulations, technoscopes from Carl Zeiss Jena were used.

Working on simulators

After the dean of the Faculty of Dentistry greeted the participants of the event, a lottery was held, where the participants drew the number of the workplace. And then the competition itself!

On the second day, the contestants were allowed to show creative thinking: it was necessary to draw the correct position of the teeth in the dentition, when there are only landmarks of the antagonist teeth.
