This programme is designed for dentists, dental technicians or scientists who want to advance their knowledge in the field of Dental Technology and Dental Materials through research and training. During this course elements of Dental technology, CAD-CAM, implantology, occlusion and materials are taught together with clinical postgraduates. Teaching is carried out by clinical consultants/staff, chief technicians and Dental/Biomaterials experts in the Institute of Dentistry, which is ranked as one of the top UK Dental schools.
You will have the opportunity to carry out novel materials synthesis and projects are running on ceramics, polymer based dental materials, (eg temporary crown and bridge materials and glass ionomer cements) composites and bioactive glasses. Technical practice sessions run during the programme underpin the core concepts of occlusion including: occlusal waxing, splints and setting up dentures. You will also produce an advanced technical patient case guided by senior multidisciplinary technical staff and clinical consultants.
The module taken in Management, Leadership and Communication Skills will help students who are expected to take up future senior managerial roles. After taking the programme you will have a good scientific base and transferable advanced technical and research skills which will be attractive to a future employer. You will be expected to take up full-time teaching, research or industry positions after completion of the programme.
