The mission of the Department of Prosthodontics is to:

• Provide teaching and clinical training to first professional students and specialty residents in prosthodontics
• Provide prosthodontic care that is comprehensive and accessible
• Develop and conduct innovative and integrated research activities
• Actively participate in continuing dental education courses and professional organizations, regionally, nationally, and internationally

The Department of Prosthodontics consists of three sections: fixed prosthodontics; removable prosthodontics; and occlusion. Additionally, the department offers a residency program, which is ADA accredited. Faculty train both first professional level (pre-clinical and clinical) and residents within the department.  The residency program manages care of all patients requiring moderate to complex oral rehabilitative treatments.  In addition, the department furthers the scholarly activities of residents and faculty.
