Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The objective of this Advanced 2nd cycle programme is to prepare dentists to gain professional status as specialist dentists in periodontics. (Ministerial Orders of 28 May 2001 and 11 June 2001 published 5 July 2001).

Retour en début de pageGeneral presentation of the programme

The full-time training lasts three years and comprises a theoretical part (at least 180 hours per year), a pre-clinical part (at least 30 hours per year) and a clinical part (at least 1,290 hours per year).

In addition to the internal placement in the training centre under the direction of an approved placement supervisor-coordinator, the clinical training also includes an external independent professional practice placement of at least 500 hours in an approved location and under the direction of an approved placement supervisor.

During the placements, candidates devote themselves entirely to practising a specialization, according to a plan approved by the ministerial committee. During training, candidates may not undertake any clinical activity outside their placement work.

Candidates must become involved in research work in an area of the specialization. Before the end of the training, they must present a paper to a scientific meeting as well as a dissertation or an article for publication in a leading international journal.

Core courses

The theoretical training is made up of the part, common to all the training programmes, which leads to the award of professional status in dentistry. This part comprises training for independent professional practice as well as interactive seminars on the following topics: economic aspects of bucco-dental treatment, the organization and management of a dental surgery, professional regulation and responsibility, dental computer systems, critical analysis of scientific literature, introduction to legal dentistry, introduction to communication, ergonomics, radiodiagnosis including radioprotection, ethological aspects of health care and the relationship between first and second line health care.

During the course, students’ knowledge and skills during the basic training in dentistry are deepened and further knowledge and skills are acquired in the following areas :



Evaluation
There is an assessment of candidates’ theoretical and practical knowledge at the end of each year which enables the programme committee to validate the academic year. At the end of the course, assessment is based on a test of candidates’ theoretical and practical knowledge and on the report of the placement supervisors as well as on the defence of an original dissertation or article for publication in a leading international journal.

When the above requirements have been fulfilled, the programme committee will award the academic qualification of Advanced Master in Perioodontics. This is not a substitute for recognition by the ministerial committee. It is evidence of academic and scientific training in the context of specialized training leading to the award of professional status.

To have their training period validated by the ministerial committee for orthodontics, candidates must submit their training record book, duly completed, at the end of each year of training.
