Prosthodontics/Prosthodontology
Advanced training in diagnosing, treating, and managing dental and oral health problems, using non-natural materials, structures, and artificial devices to provide optimal oral function and esthetic results. Instruction in implant dentistry, surgical procedures, denture design and fabrication, and fixed and removable prosthodontics. Therapeutic techniques, occlusion therapy and devices, geriatric dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction are all a part of this broad curriculum. One of the most emphasized abilities for prosthodontists and prosthodontologists is listening attentively to others, processing the information being conveyed, asking pertinent questions, and avoiding interfering at inopportune times. In addition, careers in this field necessitate the ability to communicate well with people and to use logic and reason to weigh the merits of various approaches to a problem. Those looking to enter the field of prosthodontics or prosthodontology should have a high school diploma or GED. Many universities additionally have minimum GPA and standardized test score requirements. Even with a degree, working as a prosthodontist or prosthodontologist requires additional certification.
