Program details
Overview
This Master of Dentistry program provides specialty training in periodontics and surgical implant dentistry, covering the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease alongside related faculty research in areas such as vitamin D's role in periodontal health and implantology. The program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada and runs three years, combining fifty-eight credit hours of coursework with a minimum of twelve hundred hours of supervised clinical experience. Residents complete a capstone essay or research project rather than a full thesis. Clinical training includes a hospital rotation focused on conscious sedation and rotations through private periodontal practices, giving residents exposure to both institutional and private-practice settings. Admission requires a dental qualification that makes the applicant eligible for licensure in a Canadian province, along with compliance with the specific licensing requirements that apply to dental residents in that province. The program suits practicing dentists who want to specialize in surgical and non-surgical treatment of periodontal conditions and dental implant placement, and who are working toward board eligibility and clinical independence in periodontics rather than a research-only academic path.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must possess a dental qualification that makes them eligible for licensure in a Canadian province and comply with provincial requirements for licensing dental interns and residents; no minimum GPA is published. The application requires transcripts, a current CV, a dean's letter from the institution that conferred the dental degree, and two letters of recommendation, one from a current or recent position and one from a periodontics professional, together with a statement of intent; no interview is stated for this programme. The programme page defers English-language proficiency to the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies general standard: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (minimum 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (minimum 20 per section), PTE Academic 58, Duolingo 120 (minimum 105 per subscore), CAEL 60, or Cambridge C1/C2 180.
Application Details
Start Date:August
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
