This bachelor's program in Dentistry is offered at Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa in Turkey, with instruction in English over 5 years. Dental education combines foundational biological sciences, including anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, with specialized training in oral health, covering the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. Early years of the program typically focus on general medical and dental sciences, building an understanding of oral anatomy and the biological basis of dental disease, while later years shift toward clinical training in restorative dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics. Students learn to perform examinations, interpret dental radiographs, plan treatments, and carry out clinical procedures under the supervision of experienced practitioners in dental clinics. The curriculum also addresses patient communication, infection control, and dental public health, preparing graduates to manage patient care responsibly and to consider preventive oral health at a population level. Because instruction is in English, students develop dental and medical terminology suited to international academic and clinical work. Over five years, the program generally builds from foundational sciences toward increasingly hands-on clinical practice, with substantial supervised patient treatment in the later years before graduation. Graduates typically go on to practice as general dentists, and some pursue further specialization in areas such as orthodontics, oral surgery, or periodontics through additional postgraduate training. Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa's dental faculty provides access to a large patient base for clinical training, giving students broad exposure to diverse oral health cases during their studies.
