POSTDOCTORAL
CERTIFICATE IN PROSTHODONTICS
The Postdoctoral Certificate in Prosthodontics
Program was
established in October, 1990. The program
consists of a minimum of three consecutive years (33 months) of
progressive educational experiences and may lead to a master's
degree if candidate fulfills additional requirements.
|
|
|
It is designed to meet the requirements of the Council on
Dental Education of the American Dental Association and the
prerequisites for examination and certification by the
American Board of Prosthodontics. The program uses the
resources of the University of Puerto Rico School of
Dentistry and is affiliated to the University District
Hospital. |
 |
The first year provides students the fundamental knowledge related
to the treatment of prosthodontic patients. Residents work with
healthy and medically compromised patients and participate in
seminars, treatment planning boards, lectures, laboratory
experiences, and
formal courses in pathology, statistics,
research protocols, pharmacology, and gerontology.
Most of the second year of the program, is devoted to clinical
experiences in the areas of fixed, removable, maxillofacial
prosthodontics, temporomandibular joint related disorders, and
prosthetic reconstruction with dental implants. The third year of
the program focuses on clinical experiences, teaching and the
completion of a research protocol.
Other program activities include clinical instruction, lecturing to
undergraduate students, journal club, cleft palate and lip team
conferences, basic cardiac life
support courses, continuing dental education courses, and
presentation of a table clinic at the annual meeting of the College
of Dental Surgeons of Puerto Rico. A research project and a paper
for publication are also required.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The resident must pass all courses satisfactorily and have a minimum
grade point average of 3.00, as certified by the Registrar.
