Dental studies take five (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, Neurobiology, Behavioral Sciences in topics, which
are relevant to the Practice of Dentistry. Even in the first and second year special
dental subjects (Od ontology, Preventive Dentistry, Dental Materials and Techniques)
are taught.
In the 3rd year disciplines exploring the theoretical foundations of diseases, such as
Pathology, Pathophysiology and Microbiology are studied with the related aspects to
Oral Biology and Oral Sciences. In the same year Propedeutics to Clinical Dentistry
introduces various dental procedures and techniques, involved in the clinical
treatment of patients by laboratory demonstrations and in the phantom headroom.
In the 4th year students begin the treatment of patients in the Clinical Practice Unit
and other special clinical departments. They are introduced to all clinical dental fields
(Restorative Dentistry, Prosthetic Dentistry, Period ontology, Oral Surgery, Oral
Medicine, Paedodontics and Orthodontics).
During the 4th and 5th year, students take responsibility to treat 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.
By the end of the 5th year dental students are required to submit and thesis and take
a final examination. Students having passed all examinations and having
successfully their thesis is granted a D.M.D. degree.
