yes, i have taken the dentures course. it is quite $$$$ but if you have the money and live relatively close to UCLA, I think it's worth trying your manual dexterity skills. i spent a whole weekend prepping dentures. it made me more aware of what dentistry is sorta like and the basics of it. plus, you get to mingle with dental students who will tell you good tips. but remember, as my 2nd year dental school friend told me, dentures is only about 1% of what d--school is...and it's the worst part too
