Preclinics of Dental Prosthetics

Preclinics of Dental Prosthetics is a Year 2 subject in Dental Medicine at the Medical University of Sofia, and its syllabus runs through 75 topics in a single chapter. It begins with the orofacial complex, oral and jaw anatomy, the temporomandibular joint, muscles and tooth morphology, then moves to gnathology, occlusion, biomechanics and articulators. Later topics cover crowns, fixed bridges, removable partial dentures with clasps and attachments, splints, complete dentures and CAD/CAM methods. AceMed's notes cover every topic in about four hours of reading, lean heavily on comparison and summary tables (168 in all) alongside 89 labelled pictures, and come with 1,027 flashcards.

The full MU Sofia syllabus for Preclinics of Dental Prosthetics, Dental Medicine, Year 2: 75 topics, every one with a free study note (4 hours of reading), and 1,027 flashcards. Updated 2 November 2026.
