Dentistry - State examination

Our unique concept dent@ulm defines a Dentistry programme that combines tradition with leading-edge education.

With the innovative e-learning platform of the Clinic for Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics our students can apply their theoretical knowledge to virtual case studies.

Preclinical Stage (1^st – 5^th semester)
During the preclinical stage the Dentistry pathway teaches contents that are very similar to those of the Human Medicine programme. Most subjects and laboratory courses are taught in joint lectures with students from both programmes attending, for example, Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry. Three applied dentistry courses and concomitant lectures teach dentistry-specific contents:

Technical Preparatory Course (2^nd semester) Phantom Course I in Prosthodontics (3^rd semester) Phantom Course II in Prosthodontics (subsequent to 3^rd or 4^th semester)

Clinical Stage (6^th – 10^th semester)
The special part of the clinical stage comprises the courses of the four main dentistry subjects:

Conservative Dentistry (Cariology/Endodontics, Periodontics, Pedodontics), Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, Dental, Oral and Orthodontic Surgery

The practical clinical training is organised so that each course builds upon the previous courses. The general part of the clinical stage comprises the subjects Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Clinical Chemistry, Microbiology and Hygiene, Pathology, Dermatology, Pharmacology and Ear, Nose and Throat Medicine.
