Maxillofacial prosthodontics is a specialization in dental health practiced in centers for special dental care in The Netherlands by a limited number of dentists and technicians. The necessary skills, which are largely unique in the field of dentistry, were described in 2001 in a training program by the Dutch Association for Gnathology and Prosthodontics. Multidisciplinary diagnostics, treatment planning, and care delivery are taught in a modular system. A shortage of maxillofacial prosthodontists and maxillofacial technicians calls for a structural training of young colleagues.
