Advanced Education Programs
ProsthodonticsThe goals of the Jonathan and Maxine Ferencz Advanced Education Program in Prosthodontics are to provide foundation
knowledge and diverse experiences in all aspects of prosthetic dentistry. Upon completion of the three-year program, PG
students will be proficient in prosthodontics, restorative aspects of implant dentistry, occlusion, and dental materials.
DIDACTIC PROGRAM
Approximately 25 percent of the overall program time is dedicated to didactic compo-
nents. Emphasis is placed on gaining a critical and analytical attitude toward existing and
new information, with evidence-based dentistry being an integral component. The courses
are a combination of shared core basic sciences, multi-disciplinary conferences and
seminars, and specialty-specific courses.
CLINICAL PROGRAM
Clinical training comprises 55 percent of program time. The patient population in the
Prosthodontics Clinic is extensive and diverse. PG students function as members of an
interdisciplinary team, and become proficient in the diagnosis, treatment, and
maintenance of a variety of prosthodontic needs for patients. Committed to excellence,
prosthesis fabrication is performed in high-quality laboratories.
RESEARCH PROGRAM
All PG students are required to complete an approved research project, which requires
them to demonstrate the ability to understand the scientific process including data
collection, statistical analysis, and presentation in a scientific forum. Additionally, students
are required to attend several scientific and specialty-related meetings, and to present at
least one Table Clinic at a professional meeting.

Dental Accreditation and has been granted the accreditation status of “approval without
