Paediatric Dentistry Trinity College Dublin

Paediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both primary and comprehensive preventive and therapeutic oral health care to children, including those with special needs, from birth to adolescence. The programme is based on the knowledge and expertise gained through clinical practice, research and teaching. The course has been developed with the intention of fulfilling the criteria for specialist recognition identified by the Dental Council of Ireland. Students attend a core course common to all of the postgraduate clinical dental disciplines, which provides a background in biology, clinical management, epidemiology and statistics and in science related to dentistry. Academic courses related specifically to Paediatric Dentistry occur throughout the programme. Clinical experience is provided in the Dublin Dental Hospital and the associated Paediatric Hospitals. Students are required to complete a research project leading to a thesis, and at least one publication in a peer reviewed international journal. The course leads to the award of Master in Dental Surgery (M.Dent.Ch.).
