Description

The Department of Dental Technology is one of the oldest scientific departments at the College of Medical Technology. It was established in 1995 AD, with the aim of preparing technicians capable of successful scientific practice in the field of dental technology. The educational program of the department includes that the student completes all the courses of the general stage, after which he moves to the specialization stage to study during six semesters (36) academic (theoretical / practical) courses distributed amongst specialized courses, supporting courses, and elective courses. The department includes a number of professors specialized in dental technology whom supervise the practical program in the department and provide students with scientific concepts and adequate answers. During his specialized studies, the student receives practical training in the laboratories of the college and the laboratories of the College of Pharmacy in his various fields of specialization, such as orthodontics, fixed and mobile prosthodontics, material properties, and the anatomy of the human neck and head.

After the student passes the final exams for the eighth semester, they devote themselves to internship training in dental laboratories, hospitals and specialized clinics for a period of six months for the purpose of acquiring skills and increasing practical experience. After the student passes the specialized stage and internship training, the graduate obtains a bachelor's degree in the field of dental technology.
