"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner anywhere."
(Chinese proverb)
Ruthinium in schools is a project launched in 2014 and involves a series of educational and cultural activities in Italian dental schools.
The activities, which are entirely free of charge for schools taking part in the project, are as follows:
- Guided tours by students from dental technology schools of our Badia Polesine production plant:
How an artificial resin tooth is made, from receipt of the raw material to packaging and all the production processes. - Workshops at dental school laboratories for dental technology The workshops are held by opinion-leading dental technicians and are divided into two parts : A theoretical part, where the opinion-leading dental technician relates, with the help of slides, to the audience of students on the most advanced techniques for making total dentures, and a practical part in which the dental technician practically demonstrates what was expounded in the theoretical phase. A certificate of attendance is issued to all participating students.
- Theoretical-practical courses in the laboratories of dental schools
The theoretical-practical courses, held by opinion leaders, consist of a theoretical and a practical part. During the theoretical part the opinion leader lectures the students on the most advanced techniques for the fabrication of total dentures. In the practical phase all the students participating in the course are asked to make an assembly according to what the opinion leader explains during the theory phase. The opinion leader dental technician follows the students during the fabrication of the assembly.
All participating students receive a certificate of attendance.
- Ruthinium Trophy, national competition for the fabrication of mobile prostheses
Competition for the fabrication of mobile prostheses at participating schools. Each participating school is asked to present two students per fifth grade class who, on dates agreed with Dental Manufacturing SpA Ruthinium Group, will carry out the assembly independently under the supervision of the laboratory teacher.
