About the Program

Dentistry deals with the detection and treatment of diseases of the teeth, mouth and jaw. The study programme Dentistry leads to the state examination. It is supplemented by subsequent further training, which will accompany you throughout the entire period of your professional practice. Both the training and the practice of dentistry are regulated by the Approbationsordnung für Zahnärzte (Licensing Regulations for Dentists). The training to become a dentist is based on scientific principles and is both practice- and patient-oriented. The study programme is divided into three study sections of one, one and a half, and two and a half year's duration. The first pre-clinical study section contains the scientific basics (biology, chemistry, physics) and the introduction to anatomy, histology and materials science. The second pre-clinical study period includes training in physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, dental prosthetics and materials science. The subsequent clinical study period comprises training in the individual clinical areas of dentistry. It concludes with the dental examination. After successful completion of the studies, the licence to practise dentistry, i.e. the state licence to practise dentistry, is granted upon application. It is valid throughout Germany.
