Key Summary

About: The BDS II Course offers advanced lessons for dental students after their first year. This course emphasizes practical skills, clinical exposure, and theoretical knowledge essential for a successful career in dentistry. With hands-on training and workshops, you'll develop a solid foundation in various dental disciplines.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers as dentists, dental hygienists, or specialists in fields like orthodontics or oral surgery. Other opportunities include roles in dental research and academia, as well as positions within health organizations and clinics.

In the preclinical second year, the Oral and Dental Biological Sciences, Dental Biomaterials Science and Preclinical Dentistry are extensively covered together with General Pathology & Microbiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics as well as the principles of Behavioural Sciences and Introductory Radiology. In Preclinical Dentistry there is emphasis on the student acquisition and development of clinical dental skills using patient simulators in the clinical skills laboratory supported by theoretical learning.

These preclinical components are intended to lead to a progressive understanding of the causes and mechanisms, clinical features, diagnoses and management of oral and dental diseases as well as the effects of systemic diseases on oral and dental tissues together with the importance of oral health promotion and oral disease prevention.

Successful completion of the preclinical aspects of the BDS programme is designed to provide a smooth and relatively seamless transition in preparation for the clinical part of the BDS programme.
