This program was created with the purpose of responding to a series of training, scientific and research needs that are found in the Galician University System (SUG). The Doctoral Program promotes studies at the postgraduate level and promotes research training for students in the field of Health Sciences and specifically in the field of Dentistry.

This programme is designed to unify the basic and clinical sciences, as it is believed that scientific and professional development cannot be separated but should proceed concurrently throughout the programme.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest degree offered by the University of Otago. It is awarded on the submission of a thesis which must meet rigorous standards. It requires highly developed academic ability, independence and perseverance. Most students take between 3-4 years of full-time study to complete their PhD.

The dental study program consists of the following topics: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Prosthetics, Restorative Dentistry and Endodontics, Periodontology and Oral Medicine, Pediatric Dentistry, and Orthodontics. The aim of the postgraduate study of Stomatology is to extend, deepen the knowledge of doctoral students not only in the basic Stomatology field but also in related fields (borderline) and, on that basis, independent scientific work. The main part of the study is solving a specific research task in the field of stomatology, which is in accordance with the research focus of the department. The results of the solution of the given topic are processed by the doctoral student in his / her dissertation. At the same time, it continuously presents them both in the form of a professional article in the relevant periodical and in the form of oral communication at domestic or foreign professional meetings. Study program without specialization.

In this era of globalization, all countries have the same opportunity to compete globally. The result of globalization is the development of the world of science. One indicator of a nation's progress is the number and quality of human resources with doctoral degrees. The number of Doctors needs to be increased, at least 20 percent of the total university lecturers. In this context, it is hoped that apart from accelerating the fulfillment of human resource needs with doctoral qualifications, it is also a program to generate new findings to strengthen national innovation and the nation's competitiveness. The doctoral program was developed not only to produce competent doctors and great inventors but also to produce doctoral scholars, knowledgeable and wise.

The goal of the general dentistry program is to educate students to provide high–quality dental care that is preventive in purpose, comprehensive in scope, based on sound biological principles and focused on service.

The program leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery is designed to develop broadly competent practitioners and encourages both clinical and basic science research in order to instill an appreciation of biomedical research and a spirit of inquiry in each student. The Texas A&M College of Dentistry recognizes the need to support excellence in its educational programs by acquiring and maintaining a highly qualified faculty and students, excellent physical facilities, and a competency-based curriculum that is contemporary, comprehensive, and efficient.

Students for the Ph.D. program in Oral & Craniofacial Biomedical Sciences in the Department of Biomedical Sciences receive training in the broad fields of Craniofacial development and genetics, Bioengineering and regeneration, Mineralized tissue biology, and Neuroscience and pain. This training includes the advanced study of cell and molecular mechanisms, experimental studies, and clinical studies of development, growth, aging, function, disease, and treatment. Work leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) is designed to give the candidate a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of a professional field and training in methods of research. The final basis for granting the degree is the candidate's mastery of the subject matter of a broad field of study and the demonstrated ability to do independent research. In addition, the candidate must acquire the ability to express thoughts clearly in both oral and written language.

The DScD will prepare students to successfully enter the field of academic dentistry for careers as clinical or basic science researchers. The program combines the research and clinical strengths of the School, drawing faculty mentors from throughout the clinical and basic science departments. With the goal of providing the opportunity to pursue research across disciplines, students have the option to not only work with researchers from Penn Dental Medicine, but also with faculty from Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and School of Veterinary Medicine.

An oral surgeon is a dentist who specializes in dental implants, face discomfort, and restorative surgical treatments such as wisdom tooth extraction. In addition to general dentistry, an oral surgeon may repair dental and face traumas such as broken jaws and knocked-out teeth. Mouth surgeons can also do face cosmetic surgery and treat oral malignancies. An oral surgeon goes to dentistry school for four years and then completes at least four years of hospital surgical residency.

The doctoral program of the Department of Orthodontics at Cyprus Health And Social Sciences University, offered by the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, aims to train qualified orthodontist specialists and dentists who examine the disorders and irregularities in the jaw and face region and prepare a treatment plan, are qualified in the field, have contemporary, analytical, and critical thinking, and use the most up-to-date information and technologies.

The Oral Biology and Maxillofacial Pathology program focus on biological processes that contribute to the normal development of the orofacial complex and diseases in this area. Based in the Dental College of Georgia, this interdisciplinary program encompasses various biomedical science specialities, including Anatomy, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Microbiology, Immunology, Pharmacology, and Pathology.

The Office of Admissions at LLUSD is moving toward a paperless process. Please do not send any documents other than those listed below. The International Dentist Program is designed to allow qualified dentists educated in countries outside the United States, to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in the United States.

Discoveries and technological developments in such diverse fields as molecular biology, biotechnology, biomaterials, tissue engineering, microbiology, epidemiology, imaging and computer science are rapidly changing how we diagnose and treat patients. To deal with the changes and exploit and implement new possibilities, we need to educate clinically aware researchers, and research trained clinical specialists.
