Overview
Maxillofacial Prosthetics: This residency program is an extension of the Prosthodontics Program and as such, is a Fellowship for sub-specialization. Therefore, the program description for the Prosthodontics Major applies to this program as well. Advanced training in Maxillofacial Prosthetics graduates highly trained officers to carry out the primary mission of ensuring and supporting readiness through the care of Warfighters and Wounded Warriors. The Maxillofacial Prosthetics aspect of this training focuses on prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with intraoral and extraoral defects of the head and neck resulting from wartime injuries, trauma, cancer ablation and congenital abnormalities. Emphasis is placed on close interaction and support of medical/surgical services including but not limited to Otolaryngology, Radiation Oncology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medical Oncology, Ophthalmology, Plastic Surgery, Orthopedics, Neurosurgery, Speech Pathology, Anesthesiology, and Pulmonary Medicine. In addition to management of the maxillofacial patient in the operating room setting, the curriculum includes comprehensive training in the diagnosis, treatment planning, prosthetic rehabilitation and laboratory fabrication of prostheses and devices for maxillofacial patients with varied patient needs.
