OUR FACILITIES
PRE-CLINICAL LABORATORY
Within this lab, there are designated work areas where various preclinical courses, including prosthodontics and orthodontics, take place. In these areas, dental students acquire hands-on training in the technical aspects of appliances, which they will later utilize in actual dental clinics.
SIMULATION LABORATORY
At the College of Dentistry in KSAU-HS, the dental program is structured around the simulation concept for all clinical procedures. This means that students undergo practical training in a simulated environment. To facilitate this, the dental lab is equipped with dental simulation units, also known as phantom heads. These units provide students with a realistic clinical experience, enabling them to develop the necessary skills and proficiency required for treating real patients.
To enhance the teaching and educational experience, the simulation lab is also equipped with a multimedia system that offers internet access. This allows the course director and instructors to closely monitor and support students during their procedures.
PRODUCTION LABORATORY
The College of Dentistry Production Laboratory is operated by professionally trained and skilled Dental Technologists and Technicians to provide high-quality dental prostheses. The workflow of the Production Lab consists of the fabrication of stone and printed models, removable and fixed prostheses, and orthodontic appliances that meet the highest standards of care.
The production lab team uses biocompatible materials to craft restorations that withstand daily use. Each product undergoes rigorous quality control to produce durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing dental work that meets the needs of the patients. In the heart of modern dentistry, the College of Dentistry Production Lab stands as a beacon of innovation. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it seamlessly integrates CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) and 3D printing to elevate the quality of dental prosthetics.
Furthermore, the dental lab utilizes the latest technologies from leading dental companies such as Ivoclar Vivadent PrograMill PM7 and AmannGirrbach Ceramill Motion 2 milling machines, 3d system’s ProJet® MJP 3600, ProJet® CJP 660Pro, NextDent® 5100, and Planmeca Creo® C5 3D printers to deliver the highest quality and efficiency.
ROBOTIC ROOM
The Dentroid robot is specifically designed for dental education, providing a valuable tool for dental students. This lifelike automaton assists students in developing practical skills and chair-side manners through its wide range of movements and advanced voice recognition technology. Additionally, it enhances communication and diagnostic abilities, effectively preparing students for a seamless transition from working with simulated models to treating real patients, ensuring safety throughout the process.
