Graduate Program in Periodontics

Description

The Periodontics Graduate Program at the University of 樱桃视频 is a 35-month full-time comprehensive program that offers a Certificate in Periodontics with an option for Master of Science. The curriculum has been developed so that upon completion, the student will have attained:

Competency in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases.
Competency in non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities.
Competency in the placement and maintenance of dental implants.
Competency in the management of medically compromised patients.
Competency in advanced oral plastic surgical procedures.
Competency in the use of advanced information technological systems.
Competency in the administration of parental conscious sedation and advanced cardiac life support.
Competency in the scientific and evidence-based management of patient care.
The didactic knowledge, as well as the diagnostic, treatment, and maintenance skills necessary for successful completion of the American Board of Periodontology examination.
The knowledge and skills necessary to prepare the student for a successful clinical practice, or a position in academics or research.

All of our students are encouraged to actively pursue certification with the American Board of Periodontology. To help prepare them for Part 1 of the ABP examination, we participate in the annual American Academy of Periodontology In-Service Examination. In addition, each student gives a formal case presentation at the end of each year of the three-year program, these case presentations are modeled after the format set by the ABP for their examination.

Periodontics Program Fees and Expenses

Applicants who are deemed acceptable by the Graduate Periodontics Admissions Committee are appointed for a personal interview. Applicants will be informed as to the decision of the Admissions Committee within two weeks of the interview. Upon written notification of acceptance into the program, the applicant must send a deposit fee of $2,500.00 within 10 days or he/she automatically loses his/her reserved place. This deposit fee is applied to the first term tuition; however, it is non-refundable should the applicant withdraw his/her acceptance prior to the start of the program. If a student withdraws on or after June 26, he/she will be responsible for 25 percent of first term's tuition and 100 percent of assessed fees.

The following chart shows the estimated cost of three years of study leading to a Certificate in Periodontics and a Master of Science at the University of 樱桃视频 School of Dentistry.

Gainful Employment Disclosure

Standard Occupational Classification: 29.1021.00

Regulations of the US Department of Education (DOE) require institutions of higher education to disclose program cost, median loan debt, on-time completion rate, and (as available) graduate job placement information about non-degree certificate programs that prepare students for “gainful employment,” as a condition of receiving federal student aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Pursuant to those regulations, 樱桃视频 SOD makes the following disclosures.

1st year costs (based on 2021-22 actual costs)
Tuition: $86,500.00
Books, Fees, Insurance and Instrument Rental: $16,122.00
TOTAL: $102,122.00

Approximate Tuition and Fees for the three-year program is $94,000. Room and board: $67,272 (total figure for three years, assuming on-time completion of the program, based on amounts budgeted for room and board by 樱桃视频 Dental Office of Financial Aid).

All financial aid applicants are required to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please contact Angela Orlando, Financial Aid Coordinator, School of Dentistry, for more information.

Grants

Michigan residents studying at 樱桃视频 Dental may qualify for the Michigan Tuition Grant, a need-based grant given to Michigan residents who show eligibility. The amount of the grant may vary; the current maximum award is $2,000.00 To apply, complete FASFA.

Loans

Educational loans are available to help meet the cost of education, including living expenses if necessary. A complete FASFA is required before the Financial Aid Coordinator can certify a loan application. Graduate Plus loans and Federal Unsubsidized Stafford loans combined allow you to borrow up to $200,000.00 per academic year. For the Federal Stafford Subsidized loans, the government will pay the interest on the loan while you are in school; the interest rate varies annually and as of June 29, 2021, the interest rate will be 5.28%. This is subject to change after July 1, 2021.

A variety of other education loans are available to credit worthy applicants who need additional funding to help meet expenses. Applicants are encouraged to borrow from the same lender as they have in the past. Applications are available from your lender or the Financial Aid office. Additional information can be obtained from the School of Dentistry Financial Aid coordinator:

Because fewer than 10 students have been enrolled in this program in applicable years, DOE excuses 樱桃视频 SOD from disclosing (and urges that 樱桃视频 SOD should not disclose) median loan debt amounts and on-time completion rate information, in order to protect student privacy. See Gainful Employment FAQ.

Institutions must disclose job placement information only if they collect such information about graduates for another reason (for example, for accreditation purposes). 樱桃视频 SOD does not collect job placement information and so does not disclose it here.

Objectives and Curriculum

Objectives by Year

During the first year, students begin the summer semester with didactic courses as part of the core curriculum. These include advanced head and neck anatomy and embryology, microbiology, ethics, epidemiology pharmacology, and introduction to teaching Periodontics. Students receive a major part of the didactic training, and learn to employ all of the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques employed in clinical Periodontics on the patients assigned to them during the course of their first year in the program. The students' clinical experiences are enhanced by in-depth reviews of both current and classic periodontal literature throughout their training, beginning in the first year.

At the end of the first year of training, the students spend two weeks in general anesthesia rotation in the Department of Anesthesiology at Macomb Hospital and one week in the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) at Oakland and Botsford Hospitals, St. John's Health Systems. The students also receive training in Advanced Cardiac Life Support and attend a didactic course in Light Parental Conscious Sedation during the early part of their first year. Additionally students receive didactic and hands-on training in implant dentistry.

The second year is devoted to comprehensive treatment of complex cases, further acquisition of an in-depth knowledge of the periodontal literature, and refinement of skills in the more sophisticated treatment techniques.

During the third year, students conduct in-depth reviews of current technologies and topics of current interest in Periodontics. Clinical skills in Periodontics and IV sedation are refined and results of therapy are carefully analyzed.

In addition to clinical experience in the dental school, each Periodontics graduate student assists in hospital oral surgical procedures. All students are encouraged to initiate a research project in their first year and have their manuscript published in a peer-reviewed journal before their anticipated graduation date.

Certification

All of our residents are encouraged to actively pursue certification with the American Board of Periodontology. To help prepare them for Part I of the ABP examination, we participate in the annual American Academy of Periodontology In-service Examinations. In addition, each resident gives a formal case presentation at the end of each year of the three-year program. These case presentations are modeled after the format set by the ABP for their examinations.
