Preclinical Dentistry

Preclinical Dentistry is a mandatory course for dental students that provides the theoretical foundation and practical skills essential for clinical practice in dentistry. The course focuses on the anatomy and morphology of teeth, diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as mastering basic manual techniques such as tooth tissue preparation, restorative materials, and fundamental prosthodontic procedures. Training is conducted in a simulated environment, allowing students to practice on phantom models before interacting with real patients. The goal of the course is to prepare students to handle clinical situations safely and effectively in the subsequent stages of their studies.
