專業(yè)概況
在這里學什么?
The Master of Science in Dentistry (M.S.D.) program is intended primarily for students who have received the doctorate in dentistry (D.D.S./D.M.D.) and wish to go on to obtain an adequate background in one of the various disciplines of dentistry or of the allied basic sciences in order to broaden their dental background or to complete the academic requirements for specialty boards. In general, students who wish to practice or teach a clinical subject are encouraged to work toward the M.S.D.
Degree Requirements
Student must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work, of which at least 18 must be devoted to didactic work. A minimum of 6 credit hours must be earned toward a minor subject outside the major concentration.
Other elective subjects may be selected, based on the student's educational objectives. A total of 6 credit hours must be in research; however, additional research credit cannot be used toward fulfilment of requirements for the degree. Each student must satisfactorily complete an original research project and submit an approved thesis.
Available as an M.S. or M.S.D. degree program or as a track offered in the Ph.D. in Dental Science degree program. Minor concentration: operative dentistry or prosthodontics (for M.S.D. degree); chemistry, material science engineering, or mechanical engineering (for M.S. degree).
Core Competencies
Graduates of the two-year postdoctoral program in dental materials will achieve core competencies in Materials Knowledge, Critical Thinking, and Effective Communication.
Materials Knowledge
The graduate will be prepared to:
- describe major classes of dental biomaterials used in clinical dentistry;
- explain the differences in the chemical nature of the major classes of materials;
- recognize the effects of chemical nature on the mechanical behavior of materials; and
- describe the relationship between material characteristics and clinical performance of dental biomaterials.
Critical Thinking
The graduate will be prepared to:
- identify the physical and chemical principles of major material testing methods;
- select and justify appropriate testing methods for major classes of dental biomaterials; and
- formulate hypotheses and design the necessary experiments for a given material evaluation scenario.
Effective Communication
The graduate will be prepared to:
- present research methods and results correctly in oral and written reports;
- provide evidence-based arguments on research findings in oral and written reports; and
- provide suggestions on dental biomaterial selection based on current dental literature.
