Many factors, such as reduction in caries and periodontitis prevalence, decrease in the number of edentulous patients, and more frequent demand for implants, will have an important influence on prosthodontic treatment in the future. To provide more data on the reaction of prosthodontic departments to these changes and the implication in the teaching and training of dental students, a survey with 25 questions was sent to 40 universities in five European countries. The questions referred to teaching and training time in the three branches of prosthodontics; integration of periodontics, occlusion, and orthodontics; implant dentistry; and graduate training and postgraduate programs. The survey revealed that teaching and training in prosthodontics is still very conservative, not biologically oriented, and neglecting the future impact of changes in prevalence of caries and periodontal disease.
许多因素，如龋齿和牙周炎患病率的降低、无牙患者数量的减少以及对种植牙需求的增加，将对未来的口腔修复治疗产生重要影响。为了提供更多关于口腔修复科对这些变化的反应以及对牙科学生教学和培训的影响的数据，向欧洲五个国家的40所大学发送了一份包含25个问题的调查问卷。这些问题涉及口腔修复学三个分支的教学和培训时间；牙周病学、咬合学和正畸学的整合；种植牙学；以及研究生培训和研究生项目。调查显示，口腔修复学的教学和培训仍然非常保守，没有以生物学为导向，并且忽视了龋齿和牙周疾病患病率变化的未来影响。
