MissionThe basic goal of the School of Dentistry is to provide primary care practitioners to address the oral
health needs of society, particularly the segment of society that experiences inadequate dental health
perpetuated by isolation and the absence or unavailability of dental health education facilities. In the
fulfillment of this basic goal, the institution addresses its efforts to the following primary objective:
to educate dental practitioners who are biologically oriented, clinically competent, socially sensitive,
and ethically and morally responsible. As part of a Jesuit institution, adhering to the fundamental
principles set forth by the Society of Jesus during its almost five centuries of existence, the school
promotes a value orientation that is Judeo-Christian in philosophy. Incidental to the education
program, the school attempts to provide an environment complementary to the development of
the whole person.

CurriculumThe four-year program is designed to provide maximum opportunity for
clinical application of basic concepts. Essentially, the curriculum is a progression
of experiences from basic and preclinical sciences to mastery of
clinical skills. Basic sciences are cooperatively taught by both dental and
medical school faculty under the aegis of the Department of Oral Biology.
Clinical sciences are taught by full-time clinical faculty with the assistance
of part-time faculty. The full-time faculty, representing both basic and
clinical science disciplines by training and experience, ensure integration
of basic and clinical sciences. The part-time faculty brings extensive and
varied experience, based on their own private practices, to add another
dimension to the program and to reinforce the concepts being taught.
