Program Contact
The Cleveland Dental Institute AEGD residency is an accredited program offering clinical and didactic experience in all areas of dentistry.
Residents will be trained in all aspects of modern dental procedures, using state of the art equipment and techniques including CAD-CAM technology, clinical microscope, and 3D imaging, and will complete the requirements for Certification in IV Sedation set by Ohio State Dental Board. Our program is multi-disciplinary, and Residents will have the opportunity to work side by side with faculty specialists in all disciplines of practice. Our focus is on excellence in dental care and service.
The didactic portion of the program will be at a more advanced level than the pre-doctoral curriculum. Subjects covered will include implant dentistry, radiology, oral surgery, pathology, temporo-mandibular disorders, I.V. Sedation, and many other areas of dentistry. Practice management, and business tools that the resident will need to begin their careers are explored in great detail.
The program is two years mandatory, which will differ in both curriculum and requirements. Whereas the first year emphasizes the introduction of the student to comprehensive care, treatment planning, and quality care in a closely supervised setting, the second year will allow the opportunity to explore more advanced procedures and complex cases, again, under close supervision. A certificate of completion will be granted following the successful completion of the 2nd year.
