MissionThe mission of the School of Dentistry is to promote the health of the people of North Carolina, the

CurriculumThe program consists of eight semesters of 16 weeks each, plus three
required 10-week summer semesters. Although the majority of students
require four years to meet the degree requirements, circumstances may
necessitate an extended period of study. The first year includes courses
in the core basic sciences, introductory dental sciences and introduction
to patient management, which focuses on the relationship between the
health care provider and the patient. Students begin patient care in the
summer of the first year. During the second year, students continue taking
biological science courses, and the next series of dental science and
health care delivery systems courses. During the first part of the second
year, students assume full patient care privileges, begin delivering comprehensive
care services, and are responsible for providing both therapeutic
and preventive treatment for their patients. In the third year, students
spend a significant amount of time providing comprehensive care for
their patients. A series of intermediate dental science courses are offered.
During the summer of their third year, students complete two required
externships (community setting and hospital setting) at extramural sites
located throughout the state and beyond. Fourth-year students assume
responsibility for patients who require more advanced dental care in a mentored,
general dentistry group practice. Advanced dental science courses,
updates and practice-related material are offered during the fourth year.
