Program Overview
The Dental Prosthenics Technician program at the University of Kyrenia is a 2-year associate degree (A.A.S.) offered on campus by the Vocational School of Health Services. Located in Kyrenia, North Cyprus, this program is designed for students seeking a hands-on career in dental health technology. The curriculum focuses on the fabrication and repair of dental prostheses, including crowns, bridges, dentures, and orthodontic appliances. Students gain practical skills in dental laboratory techniques, materials science, and patient-specific appliance design.
What You'll Study
The program combines theoretical knowledge with extensive laboratory practice. Key areas of study include:
- Dental Anatomy and Morphology – Understanding tooth structure, occlusion, and oral anatomy.
- Dental Materials Science – Properties and handling of ceramics, metals, polymers, and impression materials.
- Fixed Prosthodontics – Fabrication of crowns, bridges, and inlays.
- Removable Prosthodontics – Design and production of complete and partial dentures.
- Orthodontic Appliances – Construction of retainers, expanders, and other corrective devices.
- Digital Dentistry – Introduction to CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing in prosthetics.
- Infection Control and Lab Safety – Sterilization protocols and safe handling of materials.
Students complete supervised clinical laboratory hours to develop proficiency in all aspects of dental technology.
Career Outlook
Graduates are prepared for immediate employment as dental laboratory technicians in private dental labs, hospitals, and dental clinics. With experience, they can specialize in areas such as ceramic restorations, implant prosthetics, or digital design. The program also provides a foundation for further study in dental technology or related health fields. The demand for skilled dental technicians remains steady due to the ongoing need for restorative and cosmetic dental procedures.
Admission Overview
Applicants must hold a high school diploma or equivalent. No prior experience in dental technology is required. The program is delivered in English; therefore, proof of English proficiency (e.g., TOEFL or IELTS) may be required for non-native speakers.
