Please note that if your school is unable to offer any of the above, they should state this in the UCAS reference and you will not be disadvantaged as a result.
The University of Manchester welcomes the provision of unit information where available. Like all other information provided by applicants this may be taken into consideration when assessing your application. Unit grades will not normally form part of an offer conditions.
We permit GCSE resits. If you are offering an international equivalent to GCSE and this is not listed on our international entry requirements page, please contact The School of Medical Sciences Admissions Office to check the suitability of the qualification.
We can confirm our position in terms of equivalencies:. We accept both Maths options as part of the Diploma. Higher level subjects should include subject combinations that would be unsuitable for admission to the 5 year BDS. Alternative entry requirements exist for this course.
You may view these by selecting from the list below. In most cases, we expect applicants to satisfy our English Language requirement by offering English language at GCSE grade B 6 or above or a score of 5 in the International Baccalaureate diploma. Applicants from outside the UK including non-native speakers need to meet specific English language requirements to study at Manchester. We accept:. The course will deepen existing knowledge of core sciences underpinning clinical subjects.
It places emphasis on the development of personal and professional skills, attributes and behaviours that enable successful transition to university study. Further information and lists of the eligible schools and colleges is available within the Admissions Statement, and under "Aspiring State School or College" at Contextual offers. International students may be eligible for the International Foundation Programme for Medicine and Dentistry.
Health and Disclosure and Barring Service check Certain health conditions may be incompatible with careers in dentistry. Before starting your degree you will need to complete a health assessment questionnaire and pre-course screening for blood-borne viruses; find out more about pre-course occupational health information.
In accordance with General Dental Council guidelines on fitness to practise, all dental students are required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service DBS check , in line with other health-related courses in the UK.
Please note that as part of your training you will come into contact with human and animal cadaveric material. See a list of all Dentistry degrees at Bristol, and find more information about the course, assessment and career prospects.
Successful students will then join the five-year BDS course. For this course deferred entry is: Not accepted. Get in touch. Important disclaimer information about our courses. About BDS Gateway to Dentistry Gateway to Dentistry is aimed at students who have the potential to become dentists but do not meet the academic entry criteria to apply directly to our five-year undergraduate BDS Dentistry course.

At the forefront of new filling materials are composites that can be applied as a paste and then hardened using light-activated polymerisation. A composite material is made of two or more substances with different characteristics, the combination has improved properties compared to its component parts.
Composite resins used in dentistry contain a filler, typically made from silica or silicates, and a monomer. The polymerisation reaction is triggered by the interaction of light with a photoinitiator such as camphorquinone.
Injections of local anaesthetics can be painful! The anaesthetic in the gel needs to diffuse from the surface of the skin down into the tissue, where nerve endings are located. The first local anaesthetic to be isolated was cocaine, which had been extracted and purified from coca leaves by the chemist Albert Niemann in Niemann did what was typical of chemists at the time and tested out the newly-isolated compound on himself, discovering that it caused numbing of the tongue. The chemical structure of cocaine was used as the starting point for the development of better local anaesthetics that lasted longer and reduced the risk of abuse and addiction.
Most local anaesthetics have an aromatic ring, an ester or amide link and an amine group. The aromatic ring provides lipophilicity, allowing the drug to cross cell membranes. This is crucial because it needs to enter nerve cells to reach its site of action. The terminal amine group is a tertiary amine in the case of cocaine and lidocaine, which means the drug is a weak base and is charged at tissue pH 7. This charged group is essential for binding to the target protein in the nerve cell and blocking it.
The ester or amide link is important for terminating the action of the drug, as it is a target for enzymes that break these types of bonds. The earlier derivatives of cocaine all had ester bonds, which are fairly rapidly hydrolysed by enzymes in blood plasma. In contrast, lidocaine was developed with an amide bond, which is only broken by enzymes in the liver.
Connect your curriculum teaching on habitats to engaging sustainability contexts. This topic web suggests classroom activities linked to protecting the habitats of orangutans and polar bears.
