Professional Program

Course work and clinical experiences in operative dentistry are fundamental to dental students' overall education. The operative dentistry curriculum is designed so that didactic material relates closely to laboratory and clinical experiences. The program prepares D.D.S. students to proceed independently in operative dentistry during the fourth year of training.

Graduate Program

The Department of Operative Dentistry offers advanced training designed to prepare dentists for teaching, research, and practice. Since the American Dental Association does not recognize operative dentistry as a specialty area, graduate students have the opportunity to take courses that particularly interest them. Students earn a Master of Science and a Certificate in Operative Dentistry.

Requirements for the M.S. include satisfactory completion of 52 s.h. of graduate-level courses, preparation of an acceptable thesis based on original research, and a formal thesis defense.

Students must provide their own financial support for the graduate program, including research and thesis expenses.

Applicants to the program must be graduates of recognized schools of dentistry and must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate College. The department may request an interview with an applicant.
