Course Overview

Periodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas in dentistry and patient expectations are high. The Master of Science (MSc) course in Periodontics will give you the crucial core skills needed to stand out in this specialist area of practice. As part of the course, you will be exposed to advanced and unique training, benefiting from the experience of treating periodontal patients, and simulated patients in state-of-the-art facilities at our Dental Hospital in central Birmingham. This includes advanced periodontal surgery, soft tissue, and bone augmentation, and implant placement.

We ensure you receive a well-rounded and robust education through in-depth seminars and interactive problem-based scenarios that require periodontal knowledge, clinical skills, and proficiency level, with a multidisciplinary approach in order to achieve a safe evidence-based treatment and high patient satisfaction.

The programme starts by delivering teaching on periodontics. Students will also gain practical and clinical skills in periodontics throughout the programme.

As the programme continues, students will acquire knowledge of periodontal surgery, implant surgery, and advanced surgery. Students will also be taught clinical governance, management and administration.
