This course consists of two main components, the principles of cavity preparations for the currently available restoratives, their physical and manipulative characteristics and cavity restoration. They are provided by the RDS Department during the two semesters of the second year of the RDS program. It is a 1 + 2 + 0, equivalent to 3 credit hours course for first semester plus 1 + 2 + 0 for second semester, or a total of 6 credit hours course.

 This course comprises clinical simulation exercises and lectures. It introduces the student to the field of operative dentistry by describing various techniques of diagnosing carious lesions and giving a wide overview of the instruments and procedures used in the operative dentistry clinical settings The assessment in this course is mostly in the form of objective structured practical examinations (OSPE).
