The Prosthodontic residency program is an advanced three-your course of study and training in all phases of Prosthodontics, with special emphasis on total oral rehabilitation of the patients. The program's didactic and clinical components are designed to train and equip the graduate to transfer new prosthodontic knowledge and approaches, to implement evidence-based prosthodontic decision-making in clinical practice and to prepare for certification by the American Board of Prosthodontics. The program's clinical components focus on diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment of edentuluous, partially edentulous and completely edentulous patients. Fixed, removable and implant prosthodontics constitute the major portion of the clinical training, with occlusion, TMD and geriatrics as integral components of all phases of care. This program offers the MDS degree to the residents, but it is not mandatory.
