Key Summary
About: The Faculty of Medicine opened on October 12, 1903, when Carol Davila’s statue, proposed at the 1884 national medical congress and cast by Carol Stork, was unveiled. The 1898 education law (art.89) placed pharmaceutical and dental education in the Faculty, but enforcement lagged. The 1910 Sanitary Law favored Medical Faculty graduates while recognizing foreign-trained dentists; apprentices continued to practice. In 1923 Dimitrie Niculescu began free dentistry lectures and published Romania’s first Dentistry Atlas in 1924.
Career Outcomes: You could work as a dentist, dental hygienist, dental assistant, dental technician, or in dental education, research, or public health and management.
The education laws from 1898 (art.89) state that “pharmaceutical and dental education” are part of the Faculty of Medicine in Bucharest, regarding “the courses and laboratories, as well as the placements in hospitals and mandatory examinations which must be passed in order to obtain the title of Dentist”. Nevertheless, the stipulations of these laws concerning the education of dentists were not officially enforced back then.
The Sanitary Law from 1910 reiterated the statement that the dentistry practices should only be reserved for graduates of the Medical Faculty, although it also acknowledged the rights earned by dentists without the title of ‘medical doctor’, who had obtained specialty studies abroad. Despite this law, numerous individuals, who had only studied dentistry and obtained a practice through apprenticeship, would still work in this domain.
In 1923, the Professorial Council of the Medical Faculty allowed Dimitrie D. Niculescu to conduct free dentistry conferences for medical students. One year later, he published the first Dentistry Atlas written in Romanian.
