Dental prosthetics is a medical specialty that focuses on clinical care and oral rehabilitation in the case of missing teeth or pronounced damage to the tooth structure. It includes all related biological, functional, psycho-social, material and technological aspects. Their subject covers - in close interdisciplinary cooperation- also questions about long-term care strategies. Dental prosthetics therefore have a high level of responsibility at the individual patient level and at the population level. The focus is on a patient-centered preventive approach geared towards health benefits. This is understood holistically, aims to maintain oral structures and expressly includes oral health-related quality of life.
