This is a GME (Graduate Medical Education) funded (salaried) post-doctoral level program in fixed, removable and implant prosthodontics that provides the resident with clinical proficiency and comprehensive knowledge of the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with missing/damaged teeth and orofacial defects by using biocompatible artificial substitutes. The curriculum includes didactic and clinical instruction in complete dentures, removable partial dentures, fixed prosthodontics, implant dentistry (including implant surgery), geriatrics, temporomandibular disorders and maxillofacial prosthodontics, as well as digitial dentistry in all facets of dentistry. The didactic background and the clinical and laboratory skills of these areas of prosthodontics are stressed. The intensive and systematized library reading assignments and literature review seminars are an important aspect of the curriculum. Experience in teaching and research is included. All residents are encouraged to plan on pursuing eventual certification by the American Board of Prosthodontists
