    Study Programmes

    The programme entails a five year period of study and is divided into two phases. The Fundamental Dentistry Phase is introduced in year one and two focused on basic medical and dentistry subjects as well as their significance in clinical applications. The students are given an early exposure into clinical dentistry with the oral Health Course. They will also take up Operative Dental Simulation Course to learn how to handle caries using various techniques and dental materials by using a phantom head. In year three, four and five students will go through the Clinical Dental Phase where they will apply the knowledge acquired in medical and dental  fields into managing patients with dental needs. The students have to complete a series of demonstrations for dental treatment procedures before they are allowed to treat patients under the supervision of clinical experts. Teaching and learning are performed through lectures, tutorials, case studies and interactive sessions at the polyclinic during treatment sessions with the patients.
