What is the Process of Student Clinics?

Each student is accompanied by a faculty member during the clinical practice of the students on the patient. Students carry out their practices under the supervision of faculty members.

Students evaluate the dental health status of the patients, perform examinations, make diagnoses and prepare the treatment plan together with the faculty members and apply various dental treatments such as filling, tooth extraction, root canal treatment and tooth cleaning.

After each procedure, faculty members evaluate the students' performance and give feedback. Students have the opportunity to improve themselves based on the feedback they receive.

Students' clinical skills are regularly evaluated. Areas with deficiencies are identified and additional training is provided.

Student clinics provide real clinical experience for students, while providing cost-effective dental health services for the community. This process ensures that students are professionally prepared and confident in the practice of dentistry when they graduate.
