In locations around the world where facial and somato prostheses are not readily available, a dentist who specializes in maxillofacial prosthetics (prosthodontics), or a dental technician or an ocularist, may also be titled an anaplastologist. In urban or more developed locations, an individual referred to as an anaplastologist is one who solely works with facial and somatic prostheses. In such a setting, there are times the anaplastologist collaborates with prosthodontists and ocularists.
