If you’re a dental graduate who wants to pursue a career in orthodontics, this programme is for you. The Professional Doctorate Programme in Orthodontics provides integrated training for dentists who aspire to be specialists, either in primary or secondary services, or clinical academics.
This DClinDent degree integrates academic activities with clinical practice. Covering all the topics in the GDC (UK) Specialist Curriculum, it aims to familiarise you with up-to-date, novel and evidence-based clinical practices in orthodontics.
Our curriculum covers a wide spectrum of topics. You’ll touch upon key orthodontic principles such as the biomechanical principles of tooth movement and the development, growth and influence of the skeletal and soft tissues on the dentition. You’ll also learn how to formulate a diagnosis of malocclusion and an appropriate treatment plan.
You’ll apply your learning in hands-on clinical training with children and adolescents and undertake a research project with supervision from our expert clinicians and academics. You’ll hone in on key techniques and practises, such as treating a variety of malocclusions.
You will receive professional doctorate-level research training and undertake your own. You will develop an understanding of the importance of materials science in orthodontics and gain critical appraisal skills in relation to published literature.
The DClinDent Degree meets level 8 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ).
Discover our medicine and dentistry short courses that you can study on campus or online.
This module covers the basic biological science topics, operative and clinical skills to ensure that all students gain the fundamental level of skills and knowledge, which will then be used to build on, over the following two years of clinical training in Orthodontics.
This module covers aspects of research methodology, ethics and other transferable skills to ensure students are introduced to issues in research, such as governance issues and statistical analysis of clinical research. The research project undertaken in this course will give the student a real insight into the philosophy of research as well as practical experience in the process of completing a piece of original work. It also covers evidence based dentistry for the students to maintain their clinical portfolio.
This core module will consolidate the basic knowledge acquired in previous modules and introduce students to the more indepth understanding of the knowledge and clinical principles required to manage a range of maloclusions. This module also enhances the student's ability to mange the patient, in terms of their diagnosis and formulation of an appropriate treatment plan. This module will cover aspects of advanced knowledge and advanced clinical skills that form part of specialist training in orthodontics.
This module builds on the knowledge acquired in module Research I to enable students to carry out an independent research project and to write a report on their research, and to conduct a service evaluation through the completion of a clinical service audit. This module develops the skills and experience required for module Research III.
This module covers all aspects of Orthodontics to a specialist level including genetics, abnormalities in growth and development and advanced clinical skills. It will cover integrated knowledge obtained from the previous two years and its application to clinical practice. This module will also cover aspects of orthodontic care in relation to other dental and medical specialties and provide clinical training in the basic Multi-disciplinary approach to a range of malocclusion.
This final module in the programme enables students to demonstrate their ability to complete an independent research project and to write a thesis on their research, and the acquisition of advanced skills for service evaluation through the completion of a clinical service audit.
In completing your third year, you will be eligible for the Royal College of Surgeons Membership examination (MOrth).
The dissertation forms a major component of your degree. This will include a final research project, service evaluation and a clinical portfolio (limited to 50,000 words).
