Course content

Applications for our September 2022 entry will open in October 2021.

Dental materials are evolving rapidly to keep pace with the huge changes appearing in digital workflows and biological approaches across much of dentistry. This course fills this gap by providing you with a deep understanding of modern dental materials with a focus on those used in additive and subtractive manufacturing and those used in regenerative dentistry.

Dental Materials is a full-time course and is open to Home and EU/international candidates.

It will help you understand what questions should be asked of materials when deciding whether to adopt new digital workflows. You will also undertake a substantial research project facilitated by access to the School’s extensive research facilities, which will allow you to explore in-depth an area of particular interest.

Topics you'll cover include: modern dental materials, 3D scanning and milling, CAD/CAM, SEM, mechanical testing, 3D printing, and more.
