Abstract
This paper explores the critical need for revising the MDS Prosthodontics curriculum and teaching methods to better align with contemporary advances in dental practice and education. It advocates for a comprehensive overhaul that incorporates cutting-edge technologies, such as digital dentistry and addresses specialized areas including geriatrics and forensic odontology. The paper highlights the importance of integrating advanced pedagogical techniques, such as simulation-based learning, flipped classrooms and interdisciplinary collaboration, to enhance the practical and theoretical understanding of students. It also underscores the role of continuous professional development (CPD) in ensuring that Prosthodontists remain adept and up-to-date with emerging trends and best practices. By proposing structured updates across curriculum content, teaching methodologies, and professional growth opportunities, this paper aims to foster a dynamic and robust educational framework that better prepares future Prosthodontists to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care, and excel in an evolving healthcare landscape.
