This course focuses on the areas of medical pathology and oral surgery, especially dentistry. In addition to reviewing the anatomical names and positions of each tissue, you can learn about various other dental and oral surgery procedures (periodontal disease, endodontic treatment, orthodontics, etc.). The course is divided into classroom lectures and practical training. In the practical training modules, you can learn daily diagnosis and treatment through a wet lab. In addition, we have invited specialists in dentistry and oral surgery from the United States and Europe as lecturers, so we can expect highly specialized classes.
