Master in Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics

Tuition fees for Master in Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics are 1,876 USD per year.

Dentistry and dental prosthodontics form a healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders of the teeth, gums, jaw, and oral cavity. Students in this field study human anatomy and physiology, oral biology, pathology, pharmacology, and radiology alongside clinical subjects such as restorative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics, and prosthodontics, the branch concerned with replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function through crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants. Training combines theoretical study with supervised clinical practice, gradually building the manual and diagnostic skills needed to treat patients directly. Graduates of dentistry programmes typically go on to practice as general dentists or pursue further specialisation in areas such as orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, or prosthodontics itself. Others move into public health dentistry, dental research, academia, or roles within dental industry and product development. Because dental qualifications are professionally regulated, graduates usually need to complete registration or licensing requirements specific to the country where they intend to practice. This is a six-year Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics programme offered by Università degli Studi di Siena, located in Siena, Italy, and taught in English. The long single-cycle structure is typical of medical and dental degrees in Italy, integrating undergraduate and graduate-level study into one continuous programme that prepares students for clinical practice. The English-taught format allows international students to complete this training in Italy without first needing fluency in Italian, though clinical placements in an Italian setting are likely to expose students to the local healthcare environment.
