Prosthodontics

Overview

The Program in Prosthodontics is a thirty-six month course of study, commencing in July of each year. The time spent in the program may vary since it is designed to encompass the three main areas of prosthodontics, namely, removable, fixed and maxillofacial prosthodontics. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be awarded a certificate in prosthodontics and will be eligible to take the American Board of Prosthodontics examination. The thirty-six month course of study includes the following: (1) seminars in clinically oriented basic science courses, (2) instruction in advanced clinical procedures, (3) clinical science courses, which include occlusion, oral medicine, oral pathology, periodontic-prosthetic, prosthetics, oral facial pain, and other multidisciplinary courses, (4) research opportunities in the basic sciences or clinical areas, (5) selective courses to prepare for a career in academic dentistry, (6) multiple other courses that allow the student to help tailor the program, and (7) the opportunity to obtain a Master of Science degree through the Graduate School. Three applicants are selected each year, and candidates should possess competitive academic credentials and have demonstrated an interest in prosthodontics. Additional experience beyond dental school and submission of the results of the Graduate Record Examination strengthen the applicant's credentials. A personal site visit is encouraged for the benefit of the applicant and the faculty. All applications should be received by September 30th.
