Postgraduate Program Periodontology
This full-time 3-year program enables students to achieve advanced knowledge, competence, and skills in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. The Oslo postgraduate program was accredited by the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) in 2023. The program accepts two postgraduate students each year, having a total of six postgrads. The program is full-time from Monday to Friday, starting in mid-August and ending in mid-June each year.
Theoretical component
Literature seminars are arranged weekly. The supervisors select ten papers on a specific topic. In preparation for the seminars, a summary of the assigned literature is made by the postgraduate students, comprising highlights from the papers and an evaluation of the quality of the content. Twice each semester a written test with questions from the most recent seminars is held.
The Faculty of Dentistry in Oslo arranges a series of seminars and courses mandatory for all post-graduate students (Faculty courses and Core Curriculum) and in addition, interdisciplinary lectures and seminars are held. Weekly seminars with lectures by the postgraduate students, for the postgraduate students, are held. These seminars are interdisciplinary and cover themes decided by the departments involved (periodontology, endodontics, and oral surgery/oral medicine).
