Dentistry in recent times offer rewarding career opportunities. Dental disorders have become a common problem among all sections of the society. With advancement in science and technologies, the treatment procedures have become specialised. Thus, the profession is both demanding and remunerative, drawing new aspirations to the profession. Dentistry is a professional field which includes dental care and correction. The study programme provides a platform for the acquisition of the skills required for examination of a patient’s oral cavity and teeth, identification of dental problems and for undergoing complex dental treatment, restorative treatment of a defective tooth or replacement with a dental implant -dental prosthetics. Students also acquire knowledge on how to analyse clinical cases, solve dental problems and master skills for carrying out dental public health activities. Dental students can be proud of one of the most sophisticated study bases in Northern Europe. The dentistry study programme emphasises the importance of first undergoing practice on simulation models prior to working in a clinic in real life conditions. Almost every high-level dental clinic has its own work standards that can only be complied with by graduates with profound theoretical knowledge and regular practical training. The study programme is based on a student-centred approach towards learning where particular attention is devoted to the acquisition of research-based and substantiated knowledge and treatment methods: evidence-based dentistry, medicine and close cooperation of students with leading dentistry specialists and lecturers.
