The Dental Service in the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center offers one-year fellowships in Maxillofacial Prosthetics and Dental Oncology. The Maxillofacial Prosthetic Fellowship is ADA-fully-accredited.
These certificate training programs offer well-balanced clinical and didactic experience in medically compromised patients undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or head and neck surgery for oncologic disease. The fellows are trained in all phases of maxillofacial prosthetics and hospital dental oncology. Areas of comprehensive patient care and study include pediatric cancers, bone marrow and stem cell transplants, hematogenous and solid tumor, and oral and pharyngeal cancers, requiring all phases of dental and maxillofacial prosthetic intervention (diagnosis, treatment, follow-up).
Clinical and basic science research in the areas of oral manifestations of cancer therapies is another intergral part of the program. A second year in clinical research is optional.
