Faculty of Dentistry

I'm Irem Yılmaz. I am a 4th year student and a trainee dentist at Inonu University Faculty of Dentistry. Since 2009-2010, our faculty has aimed to train innovative and entrepreneurial dentists. There is only one campus in our university and all faculties are within this campus. Transportation is easy on campus and between the city and the university. Basic medical sciences courses and clinical dentistry courses are given in our faculty for the first 3 years. Basic medical sciences courses are anatomy, physiology, histology, pharmacology and our dentistry courses are endodontics, pedodontics, prosthesis, treatment, and surgery. Our faculty has a pre-clinical laboratory, a plaster laboratory and a Phantom laboratory. We are trained in preclinical models in the pre-clinic. In our phantom laboratory, we learn oral treatments on virtual patients and learn patient posture and sitting patterns. In the plaster laboratory, we learn the measurement, casting and articulation processes and put them into practice. In the 2nd half year of the 3rd grade in our faculty, students observe their professors and assistants with the principle of working with all hands by going to clinical observation. In the 4th and 5th grades, they directly take care of patients under the control of their professors. After graduation, students can start their careers by taking the Specialization Exam (DUS) in oral, dental health centers, dentistry or by specializing in universities or by opening private clinics and private offices. Humans are sacred, and naturally human health is sacred. A healthy person smiles. In this profession, in addition to bringing people back to health, we can also contribute to their smiles. That's why it's invaluable for me to have a part in people smiling at each other. Our university is known for its achievements in the field of health. At the same time, the arrival of patients from Malatya and surrounding provinces is a great opportunity for trainee dentists to develop themselves in communication with the patient and clinical skills. That's why I chose Inonu University. After graduation, I plan to enter DUS and become an expert, and then to improve myself academically. Therefore, I am already participating in congresses, trainings and improving myself and reading up-to-date articles whenever I can. In short, my biggest goal is to become a successful dentist in the field. Candidates who will prefer our university should benefit from the social facilities of the university, library facilities and, when necessary, the professors of the Medical Faculty and medical laboratories, the trainings of the Experimental Animals Education Center, and the trainings of project writing schools. The fact that dormitories and accommodation facilities are accessible and dormitories are located within the university campus was one of the reasons why I preferred this place. We have enough clinical facilities in our faculty. At the same time, our professors enable us to develop academically. These are the privileges of Inonu University and we welcome you here.
