Faculty Of Dentistry

Hello, I'm Ceyda Şentürk. I am junior student at Pamukkale University Faculty of Dentistry. The Faculty of Dentistry was established in order to train individuals who are competent on Oral and Dental Health. Our courses are divided into two as theoretical and practical. Our theoretical courses are what we call medicine courses; It includes basic sciences and clinical sciences consisting of our main courses. We use our Preclinical laboratories in the 1st and 2nd grades, and in the 3rd grade we receive hands-on training in the Phantom laboratory that you are currently seeing. The Faculty of Dentistry includes eight specialties. In the 4th and 5th grades, we move on to applied training with real patients. Optionally, we can become a specialist by taking the DUS, which we call the dental specialization exam, or by participating in the doctoral program, by training for 3 or 4 more years. We also have the opportunity to work in private polyclinics and institutions affiliated to the Ministry of Health. I chose my department because it contributes to public health and we have one-on-one contact with people. I chose Pamukkale University because it has a deep-rooted history, also Denizli is a great city for me in the context of socio-cultural environment. We benefit from our preclinical laboratories, our Phantom laboratory, the knowledge and experience of the academic staff, and also from our library located in the center of our campus. I want to specialize in the branch I am interested in by taking the Dental Specialization Exam after graduation. The dentistry program has a very challenging curriculum, both theoretical courses and practical courses, and therefore we need to maintain discipline from the very beginning. I suggest you come with these in mind. I recommend Pamukkale University, which is a well-established university, to all candidates. I wish success to the candidates who will take the university exam.
