The Faculty warmly welcomes you to be a part of this pursuit of academic and
professional excellence. The Faculty of Dentistry was established in 1971. This first local
dental school undertook the role of training students in Dentistry and later in the various
specialties, a function that was then fulfilled by overseas universities. Graduates of
Faculty have become successful practitioners in the private sector or senior specialists
and administrators/policy makers in the government services as well as respected
academicians. Others are involved in the dental industry and have become successful
entrepreneurs.
The Faculty received recognition for its high standard of teaching, research and
professionalism when the General Dental Council of the United Kingdom gave its
recognition to the Universitys Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree in December 1997.
The first postgraduate program, the Master of Community Dentistry was introduced in
1994. This was followed by the Master of Dental Science in 1996. Master in Clinical
Dentistry, Master of Orthodontics and Master of Dental Surgery were introduced in
2000. These postgraduate courses cover a range of disciplines and conducted through
coursework and/or research.
The Dental Faculty was recognized by the Royal College of Surgeons of England as a
training centre for the Fellowship in Dental Surgery (FDS) in 1989. The first Part 1
examination was conducted in the faculty in 1993 and the final FDSRCS (Eng)
examination in the following year. The Dental Faculty is also recognized as a training
hospital that fulfills the clinical prerequisites of the Membership of the Faculty of
Dentistry (MFDS) Examinations. The part A and B examination of MFDS have been
conducted here since 2001. The feasibility to sit for the FDRCS and MFDS (Eng)
examination locally had a positive effect on the number of dental specialists in the
country. It is indeed a privilege for the UM Dental Faculty to be recognized as one of the
few overseas training and examination centre by the Royal College of Surgeons of
England.
Three Master of Clinical Dentistry programmes (Periodontology, Restorative Dentistry
in Conservative Dentistry and Restorative Dentistry in Prosthetic Dentistry) offered by
The Faculty have been accepted as a training sufficient for the Membership of
Restorative Dentistry RCS (UK) examination. Accreditation of Laboratory for
Pathology training in the discipline of Oral Pathology was conferred by the Royal
College of Pathologists of Australasia in August 2011. The Master of Orthodontics is
recognized by the Hospital Recognition Committee The Royal College of Surgeons of
England and The Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians of Glasgow as a Training
Centre in Orthodontics since 2001.
iii
The postgraduate courses conducted by The Faculty are getting more demand from both
local and international students. International students come from many parts of the
world like India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Libya, Iraq, Iran Brunei,
Palestine, Kenya, England, Africa, Yemen, Oman, Bangladesh and also Brazil.
Research is an integral part of postgraduate course and there are currently 7 major
research groups, all of whom are headed by experienced research leaders. Their
researches focus on various niche areas, such as biomaterial technology, oral cancer, oral
& craniofacial biology and dentistry, community dentistry, regenerative dentistry and
dental education. The respective research groups are as follows:
