This presentation reports on the results of a meeting of prosthodontists from selected European countries. The aim of the meeting was to analyse and promote specialisation and specialist education in Prosthetic Dentistry in Europe. Representatives for Europe were selected from the European Prosthodontic Association (EPA) board, the Education and Research Committee of International College of Prosthodontists (ICP), countries with a legally recognised speciality, countries without a recognised speciality but organised training programmes and countries with neither of these situations. Data about specialisation and specialist training in Prosthodontics in Europe was scrutinised and discussed. The programmes for countries with specialist training had relatively similar content, mostly of three years duration. There was strong agreement that a recognised speciality raises the level of care within the discipline for both specialists and non-specialists. In several of the countries where a speciality had been introduced it had been initiated by pressure from public health planning authorities. The conclusions are that from a professional viewpoint an advancement of the speciality over Europe would develop the discipline, improve oral health planning and quality of patient care. A working group for harmonisation was recommended.
本报告介绍了来自部分欧洲国家的口腔修复医师会议的结果。此次会议的目的是分析并推动欧洲口腔修复学领域的专业化及专科教育。欧洲代表人选自欧洲口腔修复协会（EPA）理事会、国际口腔修复医师学会（ICP）教育与研究委员会、设有法定认可专科的国家、未设认可专科但有组织培训项目的国家以及两者皆无的国家。对欧洲口腔修复学专业化及专科培训的数据进行了审查和讨论。设有专科培训的国家的项目内容相对相似，大多为期三年。与会者强烈认同，认可专科能提升该学科内专科医生和非专科医生的医疗水平。在一些引入专科的国家，这是在公共卫生规划部门的压力下启动的。结论是，从专业角度看，在欧洲推进该专科发展将推动学科进步，改善口腔健康规划及患者护理质量。建议成立一个协调工作组。
