The College of Dentistry offers a residency program for dentists who seek post-doctoral specialty training in pediatric dentistry. The development of stong skills in clinical pediatric dentistry is a primary program objective. These skills include mild/moderate sedation, Naso alveolar molding and hospital dentistry. However, because of the need for pediatric dentists in teaching, research and public health positions, a strong secondary objective is to stimulate an interest in these areas. Upon program completion, the resident receives a certificate in pediatric dentistry and meets the eligibility requirements of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and requirements for sedation permit in any US state.
The didactic curriculum consists of a series of interrelated seminars and courses regarding general pediatric oral health care, care of the handicapped and chronically ill child, and diagnosis and treatment of occlusion problems in the primary, mixed and young permanent dentitions. The 24 month program includes a core curriculum, specialty coursework, and a wide range of clinical experiences.
