The curriculum integrates medical sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology) with dental-specific courses such as oral medicine, orthodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics, and oral surgery. Students gain extensive clinical training in dental clinics, focusing on preventive, restorative, and surgical dental care.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must hold a secondary school certificate with strong grades in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Entry exams and interviews are required, and students must demonstrate aptitude for patient care, manual dexterity, and ethical commitment.
