How Do I Get the Best Dental Vocational Training?
The prosthodontics profession has long been part of the prosthodontics. With the development of stomatology, stomatology and stomatology, the scope of prosthodontics has become more extensive, and the professional content has become more and more abundant, requiring practitioners to have more scientific knowledge. The characteristics of dental prosthesis itself and the basic theory it should possess objectively determine that it should become an independent discipline [1] .
Prosthodontics
- Prosthodontics: Based on the theoretical knowledge of stomatology, physics, chemistry, materials science, metallurgy, and aesthetics, learn specialized courses for making dentures, various prostheses and appliances using physiological methods. The profession is designed to provide technical services to specialized services in dental health care [2]
- Industry Development and Vocational Education
- The prosthodontics profession has long been part of the prosthodontics. With the development of stomatology, stomatology and stomatology, the scope of prosthodontics has become more extensive, and the professional content has become more and more abundant, requiring practitioners to have more scientific knowledge. The characteristics of dental prosthesis itself and the basic theory it should possess objectively determine that it will become an independent discipline [3]
- Cultivate high-quality oral prosthetics technology that meets the needs of the development of dental medicine, has certain basic theoretical knowledge of clinical medicine and oral medicine, has the ability to independently operate dental prosthetic technology, has certain development potential, is comprehensively developed by the German state Specialist [4]
- 1. Occupational skill level qualifications: According to the "Technical Grade Standards for Workers of the Republic of the People's Republic of China" issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Labor in 1996, professional personnel engaged in dental restoration are divided into three levels: primary, intermediate and advanced.
- 2. International training model: Germany currently adopts a combination of school education and training in technical laboratories. After graduating from junior high school, he will be studying in dental science school. At the same time, he will be trained in the laboratories, study while working, and return to school regularly to take examinations. It usually takes 4 to 5 years to graduate. Passing the exam can qualify as a junior dental technician. Then continue to study undergraduate of dental science and engineering college, to fully grasp the theory and technology of dental science and technology workers. After 8 to 10 years, take the examination of the master craftsman. Only those who have obtained the title of Master Craftsman are eligible to apply for the opening of a craftsman's office. Therefore, the number of dental laboratories in Germany is not large and the scale is not large, but the technical level is high.
- 3. Career direction
- (1) The major of oral restoration is closely related to cooperative research in other fields
- Some technologies in dental prosthetics, such as casting technology and welding technology, are introduced from the industry and require casting and welding knowledge. For various instruments and materials used, they must fully understand their manufacturing principles, methods of use, and machinery. , Physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, etc .; must have basic knowledge in materials science, physics, biomechanics, etc .; to make a variety of restorations, that is, to conform to biological functions and beautiful appearance, which requires not only medical Knowledge, should also have a certain level of aesthetic ability and craftsmanship. In this way, a more perfect restoration can be made and an ideal restoration effect can be obtained.
- (B) Oral Prosthetic Workers Facing Difficult Tasks
- Thirty years of reform and opening up, China has become the world's manufacturing center. At the same time, the world's denture (denture) processing centers have also turned to China. Many coastal denture manufacturing companies have taken over 54% of orders for global denture manufacturing, and they are also known as India's and Mexico's largest denture production bases. As we all know, the production of dentures is an industry with a high concentration of skilled personnel, high technical content and strict acceptance standards. The production of dentures is completely a kind of personalized labor. It is impossible to mass-produce mechanized production; from a time perspective, it does not allow the production cycle to be too long. Generally speaking, it takes about one week from the receipt of orders from European and American customers to organize production, quality acceptance, delivery to the United States FedEx consignment, and to install the dentures on patients. The requirements are high, time is tight, and it is full of personalized manual operations, which undoubtedly requires a large number of skilled personnel. Small companies produce between 3,000 and 5,000 dentures per month, and large companies produce between 10,000 and 20,000 dentures per month, but this is far from the 6.8 billion people in the world who need a 1% restoration rate for 32 teeth per person. For graduates of dental prosthetics, many companies have signed contracting agreements with technical colleges, and students can easily get an ideal job position after one year of internship.
- Key undergraduate institutions: Peking University, Sichuan University, Jilin University, Chongqing Medical University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Fourth Military Medical University and many other key medical institutions have begun to recruit four-year undergraduate students in dental prosthetics.
- Vocational education colleges: Xi'an Biomedical Technology College and nearly one hundred vocational colleges train and deliver nearly 10,000 professionals in the field of dental restoration technology to the society.
