Department of Dental Medicine
The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine stands for high-quality teaching and research in all areas of dentistry as well as for a strong social commitment. With our scientific work, we provide new findings in the field of dental health and develop sustainable therapeutic approaches.
In our "Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine" degree program, we train young people to become experienced dentists. The course covers all areas of dentistry, from basic care to sophisticated therapeutic procedures. We attach particular importance to giving our students a precise idea of their future profession: We provide them with the necessary knowledge from day one through practical experience so that they become dentists who focus on the well-being of their patients.
