Graduates of maxillofacial prosthetic training programs during 1980 through 1984 were surveyed to evaluate the demand for maxillofacial prosthetic services in the United States. The recent change in requirements for advanced education programs in prosthodontics and the increasing numbers of those with additional training in maxillofacial prosthetics suggests that the demand for these services is decreasing. In addition, there appears to be a distinct separation of institutional from private office management of patients. Because of these changes, the concept of maxillofacial prosthetic training and practice as known in the past may change with an increasing role for the hospital-based dentist in the interim management of these patients.
对1980年至1984年期间颌面修复培训项目的毕业生进行了调查，以评估美国对颌面修复服务的需求。口腔修复学高等教育项目要求的近期变化以及接受颌面修复额外培训的人数增加表明，对这些服务的需求正在减少。此外，机构对患者的管理与私人诊所的管理似乎明显脱节。由于这些变化，过去所知的颌面修复培训和实践概念可能会发生变化，在此期间，医院牙医在这些患者的临时管理中所起的作用将越来越大。
