- Dentistry
Dental studies take five years (10 semesters).
The five year program at Debrecen has been carefully structured and designed to ensure a high
standard of knowledge, skills and responsibility of dental surgeons.
During the 1st year a thorough understanding of the basic medical sciences such as Biophysics,
Biochemistry and Genetics is gained and in the second year the program broadens to encompass
Anatomy, Histology, Physiology and Behavioral Sciences in topics which are relevant to the
practice of Dentistry. Even in the first and second years, special dental subjects (Odontology,
Preventive Dentistry, Dental Materials and Technics) are taught.

In the 4th year, students begin to treat patients in the Clinical Practice Unit and other special
clinical departments. They are introduced to all clinical dental fields (Restorative Dentistry,
Prosthetic Dentistry, Periodontology, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Paedodontics and
Orthodontics). During the 4th and 5th years students take responsibility for treating their own
patients in small-group practice classes under the close supervision of staff members.
Parallel to the dental courses, other clinical medical sciences are also included within the
curriculum.
