Program Overview
Dentistry is one of the most popular among other medical professions.
Training in the Dentistry program includes the in-depth study of specialized disciplines, such as oral mucosal diseases, clinical dentistry, caryology, pediatric dentistry, reconstructive oral surgery, and many others.
The graduate will have a broad erudition, which will allow them to freely navigate in modern medical technologies and methods of diagnosis, and to master the techniques of practical skill that meet the requirements of today at a high level. In the second year, students acquire basic knowledge and skills in specially equipped phantom classes, where conditions of real dental reception are simulated. Our classrooms are equipped with modern workplaces for each student — a phantom table, a simulator of the patient’s head, tools and supplies.
During their senior years, students treat patients under the guidance of faculty professors at healthcare facilities of the Moscow Department of Health, utilizing modern equipment and materials. Senior students also have the opportunity to attend optional masterclasses held at international dental exhibitions, learning from the global dental community's experience in medical education driven by modern science and technology. The curriculum also includes practical training internships in core dental fields.
