Contents
The programme consists of clinical training, formal taught elements and the completion of a research project and dissertation. The clinical training (60 per cent) in diagnosis and management of periodontal disease emphasises the practice of advanced techniques in periodontology and includes the relationship between periodontology and other dental disciplines. The formal teaching element (25 per cent) is designed to provide a wide scientific background in the practice of periodontology. The supervised research project consists of 15 per cent of total programme activity. All the taught and clinical modules in the programme are core teaching. However there are a wide range of opportunities and options for the research project in our exemplary modern research laboratory and clinical facilities. The full programme includes attendance at weekly new patient diagnostic clinics, clinical practice in periodontology including surgical, antimicrobial, regenerative and mucogingival procedures, management of periodontal disease in patients with other restorative problems, and principles and practice of implant dentistry.
Assessment You are currently assessed at the end of Year One by a single written examination paper and a clinical oral examination on the scientific basis of Periodontology. At the end of the second year there are two written papers, four case presentations, and a clinical diagnosis and treatment planning test. You will also produce a written report of your research project. You will also take part in an oral assessment of your research report. At the moment all three major components of the second year exams (written, clinical, research) are equally weighted.
