Master of Science in Oral Health Sciences

The M.S. in Oral Health Sciences program is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to pursue an advanced science degree. This flexible program allows students to choose either to survey a range of oral health disciplines or to pursue an interest in one particular discipline. Students may pursue a Clinical Specialty Track, a Clinical Internship Track, or a Non-Clinical Track. Each track requires completion of 30 credits of coursework, with an emphasis on producing a scholarly work that demonstrates mastery of the scientific method and creation of new knowledge. The M.S. in Oral Health Sciences provides advanced education on the structure, development, and function of oral tissues, their interrelationships, and their relation to other organ systems in both health and disease. Emphasis is on gaining advanced understanding of oral and craniofacial structures and their function in health and disease, as well as application of modern biological principles and research techniques in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral and craniofacial diseases and anomalies.

Areas of study for the Oral Health Sciences M.S. program include traditional basic biomedical science disciplines, such as advanced biomaterials, advanced digital dentistry, advanced systematic review and critical thinking, anatomy, clinical pharmacology, contemporary laboratory techniques, neurophysiology of pain, oral microbiomes, and regenerative medicine, with emphasis on how these areas relate to oral health and disease. Study and research opportunities are offered in a variety of areas, including, but not limited to, advanced general dentistry, dental biomaterials, oral implantology, oral and maxillofacial radiology, oral microbiology and immunology, oral molecular biology, oral mucosal disorders, periodontal and craniofacial regeneration, pulp biology, and such clinical fields as endodontology, orthodontics, periodontology, and implantology, and public health. The goals of the Oral Health Sciences M.S. program are to: advance knowledge and understanding in the scientific field of oral health sciences, develop clinical scholars in dentistry by offering an adaptive graduate-level education across a variety of dental disciplines applicable to oral health, offer oral healthcare professionals the opportunity to attain a deeper, more focused understanding of their respective disciplines, and provide graduate-level training and experience in research methodology and technology to better qualify students for careers in academic and/or industry-related oral health activities.
