The MSc Specialist Practice of Dento-Alveolar Surgery seeks to increase the general dentists’ skills in minor oral surgery and develop competencies.
Many straightforward cases requiring minor oral surgery treatment are referred for specialist treatment yet they could and should easily be within the scope of the general practitioner.
Apart from teaching basic surgical sciences the programme will teach advanced bone augmentation procedures essential for implant site enhancement.
This programme is ideal for general practitioners who want to hone their surgical skills to expand their practice and increase the scope of their implant placement.
This module is designed to develop an evidence-based knowledge to patient selection as well as instil the practical skills required to recognise and provide advanced level treatment modalities and risk assessment. The aim of this module is also to highlight potential complications in oral surgery and for students to be able develop risk assessment strategies to avoided and minimise complications. Realistically it is not possible to prevent all complications so management strategies are an essential. As a natural progression from these issues the module will explore the ethical issues of informed consent and managment of patient expectations. The module develops communication skills, organisation and planning, problem solving, treatment planning, risk assessment, ethical responsibility and consent.
This module will provide a sound understanding of the key causes of diseases of the oral cavity; their diagnoses, associated systemic conditions and appropriate medical treatments and surgical management. Students will conduct literature searches and critically appraise current evidence relating to the management of oral pathology and its evidence based management. Through understanding and the use of appropriate academic resources students will focus on how to incorporate ideas from their reading into an assignment using quotations, paraphrases and references.
This module encourages the student to critically reflect on their professional, clinical and managerial practice in a specific field in order to explore questions which are fundamental to their professional development and eventual dissertation topic. It requires the student to evaluate their own knowledge base and to recognise and clarify the important connections between what they already know and what they intend to learn. It encourages information literacy, using contemporary and seminal sources in order to compile a critical evaluation of specialist practice to allow them to develop strategies which enhance their professional development.
The aim of this module is to help you to develop research skills in order to identify your dissertation topic, make a detailed proposal and plan your research. It will develop the academic skills necessary for your study at Masters level. This comprehensive module covers clinical statistics, evidence-based practice, critical appraisal, measurement and research design, and explores their specific application in medical research and treatment. You will learn how to formulate realistic research objectives and an appropriate conceptual/analytical framework for your research. You will also learn how to identify, collate and critically review relevant evidence from the literature, and how to make informed decisions about which research philosophies, strategies and methods are applicable to your research.
For the more information section - please include the following - The programme is designed to train dentists to practice to an accredited, specialist-level of practice (recognised as “Tier 2” level in the UK). A Dentist working with a Special Interest (DwSI) lies between routine general dental practice and specialist practice.

It will develop the skills of navigation and interpretation of three-dimensional images. Through this module you will learn the fundamental technology of CT scans, their advantages and limitations. You will learn the operating and legal requirements applicable to the safe and effective use of radiographic equipment, plus the health and safety issues related to ionising radiation.
This module will provide a sound understanding of the key concepts of augmentation of dento-facial soft and hard tissues and help students to develop the practical skills necessary for successful and predictable regeneration of lost tissue. Students will conduct literature searches and critically appraise current evidence relating to the management of tissue defects or diseased tissue. Through understanding and using appropriate academic resources students will focus on how to incorporate ideas from their reading into an essay using quotations, paraphrases and references. This module will also consider potential complications and risk assessment strategies to avoid and minimise complications. The module develops communication skills, organisation and planning, problem solving, treatment planning, risk assessment, ethical responsibility and consent.
This taught module provides an opportunity to undertake an extended and substantial piece of research. It allows you to synthesise the academic knowledge acquired from prior postgraduate and experiential learning to produce an evaluative and critical discussion of a specialist dental topic directly related to your programme of study. It aims to help you to develop your abilities in identifying a problem, establishing its significance, formulating a hypothesis/proposition, designing a means of testing the hypothesis and evaluating the results.
