For dentists holding a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree seeking career advancement, Indiana University School of Dentistry's M.S.D. program offers specialized training across seven majors for clinical practice or academic roles. This combined degree and certificate program doesn't provide standalone clinical certificates.
Dental materials encompass both natural oral tissues (like enamel, dentin, and bone) and synthetic biocompatible substances (including metals, ceramics, and polymers) used to repair damaged teeth.
In the Graduate Dental Materials Program, you'll concentrate on oral health restoration through materials science while pursuing your M.S.D. degree. This two-year curriculum provides in-depth training in research methods and material applications, covering: Composition and microstructure of dental materials, Biocompatibility fundamentals, Mechanical properties of biomaterials, Dental materials science principles, Proper material handling techniques, Failure analysis of dental restorations, and Evidence-based material selection for patient care.
