Periodontology (Taught)

Do you have the enhanced skills in advanced care that are needed in the new dental contract? Dental practitioners who do are likely to be commissioned to provide specialised services under the proposed new dental contract. Periodontology is just one of those specialised services you could be commissioned to do.

If you are a registered dentist, our MSc Periodontology course provides an educational route for you to acquire advanced skills and knowledge in periodontology:

Gain experience in our purpose-built dental skills labs and clinical patient care facilities
Make your studies fit around your busy working life through our flexible study options
Expand your knowledge and interests in a broad range of dental disciplines
Learn from experienced clinicians who provide expert oral health care in clinical settings
Reinforce and enhance the skills which are required for everyday clinical practice

You gain a broad and critical understanding of the key concepts underlying clinical periodontal practice. At Essex, you critically appraise research findings and develop your own evidence-based practice.

You can tailor your learning experience with a choice of optional modules. More information about these can be found on the University of Essex website
