A Dental Prosthetics Technician is a healthcare technician who carries out or ensures that the relevant personnel carry out the laboratory work on the removable and fixed dentures (dental prosthetics) which are applied by the dentist to the maxillary, mandibular or facial area according to the planned way of treatment in order to ensure the functions of missing teeth. A dental prosthetics technician prepares a dental model in the size of a mouth measured by the dentist. They form the fixed and removable dentures, multiply the dentures through casting procedures, level off, and polish them to ensure an aesthetic look and the dentures are made suitably for the mouth. They fix the denture fractures. They also prepare removable orthodontic appliances planned to be used by the dentist during treatment.

‘‘Oral and Dental Health’’ and ‘‘Dental Prosthetics Technology’’ are Turkish-medium programmes. The English Preparatory Programme is optional.
