MSc in Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) is a Clinical MSc programme at the Institute of Dentistry. It is concerned with treating major dental issues, which can arise across all age groups. This novelty discipline of clinical dentistry teaches students how to adopt an approach of minimal intervention to patient tooth treatments and restorations. MID bridges the traditional gap between prevention and surgical procedures.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) is a concept of patient care that deals with the causes of dental disease and not just the symptoms. The concept is based on all the factors that affect the onset and progression of disease and therefore integrates prevention, control and treatment. The field of MID is wide, including the detection of diseases as early as possible, the identification of risk factors (risk assessment) and the implementation of preventive strategies and health education for the patient.
This DClinDent programme is unique in the UK and will expand your knowledge and skills in minimally invasive dentistry and provide an excellent preparation for your career and enhance your dental practice. The programme of study will be in line with the General Dental Council curriculum for Clinical Dentistry including selected components of Restorative Dentistry, Endodontics, Paediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics.
The programme addresses some of the leading global problems facing dentistry, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other future emerging infectious disease threats and antimicrobial resistance. In addition, increasing average life expectancy means that dentists will need to treat more patients with complicated medical histories.
You’ll be prepared for the continued challenges of COVID-19 and any future infectious disease threat. Most dental procedures are classified as aerosol generating procedures with potential risk of transmitting infection to dental professionals and patients. This has led to a global realisation of the importance of training future MID specialists and equipping them with the knowledge and skills to enable them to provide evidence based advice and develop holistic personalised approach to patient care.
You’ll take a programme of seminars, lectures and tutorials, starting with an introductory course on the fundamentals of minimally invasive dentistry and its related disciplines before going on to review the clinical and scientific scope of the subject and determine its evidence base.
You’ll then enter supervised clinical practice with teaching on the diagnosis and management of selected dental diseases using minimally invasive strategies.
You’ll also complete a research project, where you’ll demonstrate the application of scientific method to a problem in minimally invasive dentistry. This project will then form the basis of your dissertation. Over the duration of the programme, you’ll gain advanced research skills to professional doctorate level and develop sophisticated critical appraisal skills in relation to published literature.
In addition to your studies, you’ll also have a chance to interact with external specialists, through an extensive seminar series held within the Institute of Dentistry, the Blizard Institute and Queen Mary as a whole.
The DClinDent Degree meets level 8 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ).
Application deadline: 31 January
• Three compulsory research modules, including your final dissertation (up to 50,000 words)• Three compulsory knowledge and clinical skills modules
Discover our medicine and dentistry short courses that you can study on campus or online.
This module covers the basic biological science topics and clinical skills relating to the study of MID to ensure that all students possess the fundamental level of knowledge and skills required to study the advanced level 8 modules in MID. This fundamental knowledge and skills provides the underpinning building blocks to be developed over the following two years of clinical training and practice.
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 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 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.
This core module will build on and advance the basic knowledge acquired in previous modules and introduce students to more in-depth aspects of MID and the knowledge required to manage dental diseases by the employment of MID. This module also enhances the student¿s ability to examine the patient, diagnosis of presenting condition, and the ability to formulate an appropriate treatment plan. This module will cover aspects of advanced knowledge in MID. Advanced clinical skills will be acquired to underpin an independent clinical practice.
This core module will consolidate the advanced knowledge acquired in previous modules. The students will acquire enhanced skills for a multidisciplinary comprehensive approach in examining, diagnosing and managing MID approaches in all ages.
• Each module is assessed separately, including essays, written, clinical and viva voce examinations• You will also be assessed by case presentations and clinical, diagnostic and treatment planning• You will be assessed through your dissertation and research projects
The dissertation forms a major component of your degree. You’ll write a final report of up to 50,000 words on your research project.
You'll be taught through a combination of expert seminars, supervised clinical and laboratory sessions, one-to-one tutorials, self-directed learning, case presentations and reading. You'll also be taught relevant laboratory methodology.
Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on, formal study sessions, reading, producing written work, completing projects and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study sessions you attend, along with your reading lists and assignments.
You will be assigned an Academic Adviser who will guide you in both academic and pastoral matters throughout your time at Queen Mary.This professional doctorate programme includes weekly teaching and clinical contact hours in addition to numerous hours of independent learning and research. Please contact the course convenor for information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.
