Course Overview

The MSc Primary Dental Care is a comprehensive programme of clinically based general dentistry, taught to an advanced, level 2 care procedural and/or patient complexity, requiring a clinician with enhanced skills and experience at a specialist level of practice, incorporating the latest digital and AI technologies. It covers the depth and breadth of dental practice, from clinical care of infants (Paedodontics) to end-stage care and management of the elderly (Gerodontology).
This qualification is ideal for dentists, with at least two years’ (on commencement of the Programme) continuous postgraduate clinical experience in clinical practice as qualified dental practitioners, intending or engaging in the delivery of multiple specialities, such as orthodontics, implantology and aesthetic dentistry. Dentists engaging in the delivery of multiple speciality treatment plans should be aware of their limitations ensuring that the treatments they provide are evidence-based and appropriate. The boundaries between what was traditionally delivered by the general dental practitioner and the specialist are becoming increasingly blurred. With the advent of digital dentistry and the predictability of implantology combined with increasing patient expectations for more advanced elective cosmetic procedures, general dentists are providing mixed specialist types of dental treatment. This programme is intended to give dentists the contemporary core knowledge and clinical skills essential for the safe delivery of competent, high-quality multidisciplinary dental care with predictable treatment outcomes. Upon completing this programme, you will be able to confidently treat and identify suitable cases within your scope of competency.
