Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) - Digital Dentistry

The Post-Doctoral program in Digital Dentistry is the first full-time program of its kind worldwide; it is a 2-year clinical program with an emphasis on prosthodontic rehabilitations using multiple digital systems and technologies. The objective of this program is to provide clinicians with a sound academic and clinical background in digital dentistry with a wide variety of technologies from over 20 different manufacturers. Emphasis is placed on training clinicians who are competent in all aspects of digital dentistry from guided surgical implant placement to 3D smile design, full mouth rehabilitation, and computer-assisted manufacturing of high-quality restorations. The program is enriched by comprehensive treatment planning involving full mouth rehabilitation, treatment of edentulism, and rehabilitation of the worn dentition. Contemporary esthetic materials and dental implant therapy are emphasized.

Candidates will have the opportunity to complete the Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) - Digital Dentistry track. This degree requires completion of a research project and defense of a thesis project. The didactic component of the program includes treatment planning seminars and literature review seminars in addition to formal lecture courses. The Master's degree program is completed simultaneously with the clinical Certificate program in Digital Dentistry and there is no option for a Certificate only program. A research project culminating in the defense of a thesis is mandatory, and preparation of a manuscript suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal is strongly recommended.
