Bachelor in Dentistry

The Bachelor in Dentistry is a full-time undergraduate professional degree for those who wish to become dental practitioners. It typically spans around 4 years of academic study followed by a 1-year mandatory clinical internship, making it roughly a 5-year programme in many countries.During the early years, students build foundational knowledge in human anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, dental anatomy, embryology and oral histology, as well as dental materials and pre-clinical prosthodontics.In the later years, they progress into advanced dental specialties and clinical practice including conservative dentistry and endodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, periodontology, paediatric and preventive dentistry, oral medicine and radiology, and public health dentistry.The final internship year involves rotational postings across major dental departments so graduates gain hands-on real-patient experience and are prepared for practise or further specialization.
