Students integrate and reflect on previously learned theoretical knowledge and practical skills from removable partial denture courses and present to their peers the rationale and methodology for choosing the content of their client treatment plan. Students reflect on the difficulties and successes they encountered throughout the entire client treatment process and identify ways to improve their practice.
