THE FACULTY OF DENTISTRY

UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA FOREWORD

The Faculty warmly welcomes you to be a part of this pursuit of academic and

professional excellence. The Faculty of Dentistry was established in 1971. This first local

dental school undertook the role of training students in Dentistry and later in the various

specialties, a function that was then fulfilled by overseas universities. Graduates of

Faculty have become successful practitioners in the private sector or senior specialists

and administrators/policy makers in the government services as well as respected

academicians. Others are involved in the dental industry and have become successful

entrepreneurs.

The Faculty received recognition for its high standard of teaching, research and

professionalism when the General Dental Council of the United Kingdom gave its

recognition to the University’s Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree in December 1997.

The first postgraduate program, the Master of Community Dentistry was introduced in

1994. This was followed by the Master of Dental Science in 1996. Master in Clinical

Dentistry, Master of Orthodontics and Master of Dental Surgery were introduced in

2000. These postgraduate courses cover a range of disciplines and conducted through

coursework and/or research.

The Dental Faculty was recognized by the Royal College of Surgeons of England as a

training centre for the Fellowship in Dental Surgery (FDS) in 1989. The first Part 1

examination was conducted in the faculty in 1993 and the final FDSRCS (Eng)

examination in the following year. The Dental Faculty is also recognized as a training

hospital that fulfills the clinical prerequisites of the Membership of the Faculty of

Dentistry (MFDS) Examinations. The part A and B examination of MFDS have been

conducted here since 2001. The feasibility to sit for the FDRCS and MFDS (Eng)

examination locally had a positive effect on the number of dental specialists in the

country. It is indeed a privilege for the UM Dental Faculty to be recognized as one of the

few ‘overseas’ training and examination centre by the Royal College of Surgeons of

England.

Three Master of Clinical Dentistry programmes (Periodontology, Restorative Dentistry

in Conservative Dentistry and Restorative Dentistry in Prosthetic Dentistry) offered by

The Faculty have been accepted as a ‘training’ sufficient for the Membership of

Restorative Dentistry RCS (UK) examination. Accreditation of Laboratory for

Pathology training in the discipline of Oral Pathology was conferred by the Royal

College of Pathologists of Australasia in August 2011. The Master of Orthodontics is

recognized by the Hospital Recognition Committee The Royal College of Surgeons of

England and The Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians of Glasgow as a Training

Centre in Orthodontics since 2001.

Faculty of Dentistry Postgraduate Handbook 2013/2014 iv

The postgraduate courses conducted by The Faculty are getting more demand from both

local and international students. International students come from many parts of the

world like India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Libya, Iraq, Iran Brunei,

Palestine, Kenya, England, Africa, Yemen, Oman, Bangladesh and also Brazil.

Research is an integral part of postgraduate course and there are currently 7 major

research groups, all of whom are headed by experienced research leaders. Their

researches focus on various niche areas, such as biomaterial technology, oral cancer, oral

& craniofacial biology and dentistry, community dentistry, regenerative dentistry and

dental education. The respective research groups are as follows:

Biomaterials Technology Research Group(BTRG)
