Dear Students,
Dentistry is a branch of science that focuses on humans, offers science and art together to its students, and requires personal qualities such as compassion, patience, love for people and empathy. The aim of dentistry education is to address oral and dental health as a whole with all dimensions of human health, to be sensitive to all kinds of developments and changes related to oral and dental health, to be able to effectively apply both preventive and therapeutic oral and dental health services and to be able to ensure that the healthcare team is effective. To train dentists who are qualified to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as a member by taking into account the principles of professional ethics.
The courses in our training program include all the knowledge and competencies that dentists graduated from European Countries should have, and are also implemented as a training program compatible with the Pre-Graduation Dentistry National Core Education Program-2024 (Duçep-2024). Our courses within the scope of basic sciences are given mainly in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades by our professors who are also on the staff of our Faculty of Medicine. Our pre-clinical practice courses are taught in fully equipped Prosthesis and Phantom laboratories and with simulations that create the exact clinical conditions of the applications to be performed on the patient. The 4th and 5th grades are the period when Dentistry vocational courses are intensive, as well as clinical practices on patients are carried out in the clinics of our dental hospital under the supervision of our faculty members.
