Wiles' work has been used in many fields of mathematics. Notably, in 1999, three of his former students, [[Richard Taylor (mathematician)|Richard Taylor]], [[Brian Conrad]], and [[Fred Diamond]], working with [[Christophe Breuil]], built upon Wiles' proof to prove the full modularity theorem.<ref name="Devlin 1999">{{cite web|last=Devlin|first=Keith |author-link=Keith Devlin| title=Beyond Fermat's last theorem | website=The Guardian | date=21 July 1999 | url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/1999/jul/21/technology | access-date=20 November 2023}}</ref><ref name="Darmon 1999">{{cite journal|last=Darmon|first=Henri|author-link=Henri Darmon|url=https://www.ams.org/notices/199911/comm-darmon.pdf|journal=Notices of the AMS|publisher=[[American Mathematical Society]]|title= A Proof of the Full Shimura- Taniyama-Weil Conjecture Is Announced|date=December 1999|access-date=1 August 2024|issue=11|volume=46|page=1397-1401}}</ref> Wiles's doctoral students have also included [[Manjul Bhargava]] (2014 winner of the [[Fields Medal]]), [[Ehud de Shalit]], [[Ritabrata Munshi]] (winner of the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology|SSB Prize]] and [[ICTP Ramanujan Prize]]), [[Karl Rubin]] (son of [[Vera Rubin]]), [[Christopher Skinner]], and [[Vinayak Vatsal]] (2007 winner of the [[Coxeter–James Prize]]).

In 2016, upon receiving the [[Abel Prize]], Wiles said about his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, "The methods that solved it opened up a new way of attacking one of the big webs of conjectures of contemporary mathematics called the [[Langlands program|Langlands Program]], which as a grand vision tries to unify different branches of mathematics. It’s given us a new way to look at that".<ref name="Sample 2016"/>
