The Bachelor of Dentistry program in Turkey is a rigorous and comprehensive five-year undergraduate course designed to prepare students for professional careers as dental practitioners. The curriculum integrates foundational biomedical sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, and oral pathology, with extensive clinical training and specialization opportunities. Students begin with pre-clinical studies and progress to hands-on clinical experiences from the third year onwards, participating in rotations and specialized elective coursework. By the final year, students are exposed to advanced clinical practice and may specialize in various fields, including orthodontics, periodontics, or oral surgery. Graduates are equipped with diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic skills essential for treating oral diseases and conditions, and are prepared to work in a range of environments, such as private clinics, hospitals, or to pursue further specialization. Turkish dental degrees are also recognized by several international boards, including those in the USA and UAE, adding global value to the qualification. The program aims to nurture clinicians who uphold universal ethical standards and utilize evidence-based approaches to patient care[4][5].
