    (Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2025-06-30) Dushyn, Ivan; Maksymcha, Serhii; Ukharska, Oksana; Yarifa, Maria; Doiedalina, Natalia; Patalakha, Olena; Fesenko, Ievgen
    The purpose of this narrative review is (1) to highlight the procedure for conferring the lifetime academic title of associate professor in Ukraine to dentists and maxillofacial surgeons and (2) to demonstrate associate professor certificates obtained at various dental departments in different years. The nuances of the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated January 14, 2016, No. 13 “On approval of the Procedure for conferring academic titles to scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers” and Order dated September 26, 2005, No. 557 “On streamlining the terms of remuneration and approving the schemes of tariff categories for employees of educational institutions, educational institutions and scientific institutions” will be considered. The article analyzes in detail six criteria on the basis of which the academic title of associate professor can be conferred. A monthly supplement of up to 25 percent of the official salary (wage rate) is also being considered for employees who have received an academic title and continue to work at an educational institution. Deprivation of the academic title of associate professor is such a rare phenomenon in Ukraine that it was not possible to reliably identify such cases in open sources. Only isolated cases of cancellation of the decision of the academic council of one of the higher education institutions on conferring the academic title of associate professor due to the inconsistency of educational activities with the applicant's declared specialty were identified.
