    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Prosthodontics
    • Dental Education

    Background:

    • Maxillofacial prosthetics training programs have evolved.
    • Changes in advanced education requirements for prosthodontics have occurred.
    • The number of dentists with specialized maxillofacial prosthetics training has increased.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the demand for maxillofacial prosthetic services in the United States.
    • To assess the impact of educational changes on the field.
    • To identify potential shifts in practice management.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of graduates from maxillofacial prosthetic training programs (1980-1984).
    • Analysis of trends in advanced dental education requirements.

  • Evaluation of practice management trends (institutional vs. private office).

    • Main Results:

    • The demand for maxillofacial prosthetic services appears to be decreasing.
    • A separation between institutional and private office patient management is evident.
    • Increasing numbers of dentists possess additional training in maxillofacial prosthetics.

    Conclusions:

    • The traditional model of maxillofacial prosthetic training and practice may be changing.
    • Hospital-based dentists may play a larger role in interim patient management.
    • Future practice structures will likely adapt to evolving educational standards and service demands.
