摘要
Prosthodontics in all of its various subspecialties is in high demand in the United States. It represents a major portion of a typical dentist's income. On the basis of data recently obtained 4,5 about the projected increase in the physiological need for prosthodontic services and the extensive involvement of U.S. dentists in all areas of prosthodontics, one cannot deny the need for continued and increased predoctoral, doctoral and postgraduate education in prosthodontics.
