About the degree

This innovative, flexible and inclusive MSc programme is ideal for dentists looking to expand their knowledge of the non-surgical and surgical management of patients with periodontal needs. You will study peri-implant disease management, non-surgical therapy and the fundamentals of diagnosis and treatment planning in implant dentistry.

The course includes a mix of live and recorded sessions online and compressed face-to-face teaching in London. As a busy dental practitioner, you can plan your life around your study and complete periodontal training while studying at a time that suits you.

Clinical skills training is delivered during residential weeks or days, using phantom heads and pig jaws models, and covering all aspects of managing periodontal diseases and conditions.

Your clinical progress is monitored through constant review of a specifically designed clinical logbook and clinical cases submissions.

Our mix of theory, latest scientific evidence and technical skills provides an exciting opportunity, especially for overseas students who may be unable to access high-quality clinical education and the latest technologies.
