7. To collect, process, store, and distribute research data.
8. To undertake projects and studies of a consulting or developmental nature, towards the goal of meeting society’s needs.
9. To publish scientific journals.
The areas of activity of the Department of Prosthodontics include the following subject areas:
1. The subject of “Fixed Prosthesis and Implant Prosthodontics” covers at least one autonomous subject area of the Laboratory and includes the development, implementation and assessment of scientific restoration methods using conventional fixed prosthetic restorations, combined prosthetic restorations, and prosthetic implant-supported restorations in patients of all ages; clinical physiology and pathology of the stomatognathic system; Occlusion; Craniognathic Disorders; and the materials for reconstructive, restorative, and regenerative applications.
2. The subject of “Removable Prosthodontics” covers at least one autonomous subject area of the Laboratory and pertains to the development, implementation and assessment of scientific methods of restoring appearance and function with conventional removable and implant-supported restorations, on patients of all ages with partial or complete edentulism or with Oral and Maxillofacial defects, for the purpose of improving oral and overall health. It also includes the materials for reconstructive, restorative, and regenerative applications.
3.

Postgraduate Program in Prosthodontics
The Postgraduate Program in Prosthodontics originates from the Department of Prosthodontics and belongs completely to the School of Dentistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The Postgraduate Programme in Prosthodontics includes teaching and clinical practice on fixed and removable prosthetic restorations, implant prosthodontics, perioprosthetics, management of craniomandibular disorders, and maxillofacial prosthodontics.
The program consists of six semesters, starting in the fall semester of each academic year. Postgraduate students are required to complete the program’s clinical and research requirements by the end of the third year. However, an extension may be granted if deemed necessary. Coursework and clinical practice are combined, in order to provide conditions that are scientifically challenging at every level of the Prosthodontics Program, as well as to encourage active participation both in research and in lectures. Courses in related sciences includes biomaterials and dental materials, the biology of implants, occlusion, biostatistics, biomechanics, and periodontology.
The second and third years of the program are purposefully less burdened by courses, to allow the students to meet their clinical requirements. The program leads to a “Postgraduate Specialisation Degree in Prosthodontics” that meets the requirements of the European Committee on Prosthodontics Specialisation and corresponds to a Master’s Degree in the Science of Dentistry. The program prepares laureates for their practical specialist training or for a career in dental education. To be awarded the Specialisation Degree in Dentistry, the Postgraduate Student must also complete an acceptable, following relevant examination, Master’s Thesis, in addition to the theoretical and clinical training in the prosthodontics specialisation.
It should be noted that the program’s official language is Greek; foreign nationals participating in the programme may complete their Master’s Theses in English.
