About the Program

According to the regulations for a medical license, the course of study in Dentistry should prepare the future dentist for his or her profession by providing practical training on a solid scientific foundation. Practical and theoretical training thus both play a major role in the degree program. The field of dentistry focuses on the diagnosis and therapy of tooth, mouth, and jaw diseases. Practical work on patients includes the preservation of teeth, dental surgery, prosthetic measures, and the regulation of tooth and jaw anomalies. Another important task is prophylaxis, i.e., education concerning the causes of tooth diseases (preventive dentistry). The program includes a ten-semester course of study in dentistry, including a preclinical and a clinical phase of at least five semesters each. The standard period of study, including the final examination, is ten semesters and six months. Students must take the following examinations in the course of the program: - intermediate natural science examination, - intermediate dentistry examination, - final dentistry examination. The preclinical phase of the course of study ends with the intermediate dentistry examination, the "Physikum," but also includes an additional examination at the end of the second study semester: the intermediate natural science examination or "Vorphysikum." After completing the examinations of the preclinical phase, the student proceeds to the clinical phase, which terminates with the State Examination, i.e., the final dentistry examination.
