Notes on this structure:
  • Page numbers are illustrative - adjust as your content grows
  • Chapter 2 (Literature Review) is deliberately expanded as it carries the most academic weight in an MDS dissertation
  • The proposed decision-making algorithm in Chapter 5.6 adds strong original contribution to the work
  • You can split Chapter 4 into two chapters (4A - Camouflage Group Results, 4B - Surgical Group Results) if your sample is large enough to warrant it

Your complete detailed outline is above, designed to reach approximately 269 pages. Here is a quick summary of what is included:

What this outline gives you:
  • 7 major divisions: Preliminary pages + 6 Chapters + Appendices + Bibliography
  • Every section broken down to the sub-subsection level with specific key points, named studies, formulas, anatomical details, and clinical facts written out
  • Chapter 2 (Review of Literature) is the largest at ~80 pages - covering the full historical evolution, cephalometric parameters, camouflage mechanics, surgical procedures, soft tissue analysis, psychology, and all recent advances (TADs, VSP, AI, surgery-first)
  • Chapter 5 (Discussion) includes a ready-to-build 7-step clinical decision-making algorithm - your original contribution
  • Chapter 4 (Results) is structured with specific table numbers and statistical methods so you know exactly what output to generate
  • All appendices include the OQLQ and OHIP-14 instruments, case report templates, and data proforma
  • Bibliography lists ~15 key landmark papers with specific authors and PMIDs where available
Next steps you can ask for:
  1. A fully written Chapter 1 (Introduction) - ready to submit
  2. A fully written Chapter 2 (Literature Review)
  3. The decision-making algorithm as a formatted flowchart
  4. A filled-in data collection proforma template
