Master of Dental Science Publications
A requirement of the Master of Dental Science (MDS) degree program is the conduct of an approved research project. The project must demonstrate a high level of scholarship, as well as the student鈥檚 ability to carry out independent investigation contributing to the foundation of knowledge in dentistry. At completion of the research project, MDS students are required to submit a written manuscript, suitable for publication, to a peer-reviewed, professional journal.
The archives below represent links to MDS degree project abstracts from 2013 to present.听An asterisk (*) indicates the MDS student completing the research effort. Published article titles are linked to听PubMed. Thesis documents produced by MDS students prior to 2013 may be found at听.
