Dentistry

Dentistry is concerned with disorders of the teeth, jaw and mouth, and their treatment. The degree programme in dentistry provides students not only with theoretical knowledge in the natural sciences and human medicine, but also with both theoretical and practical basic principles of diagnosis and treatment in the areas of restorative dentistry, dental prosthetics, orthodontics and oral, jaw and maxillofacial surgery. Following successful completion of the state examination, students are eligible for a license to practice dentistry. Generally, dentists work in their own medical practices or for an employer. There is also the option of pursuing clinical research and teaching at universities, in industry, or at training institutes.
