The curriculum is composed of four major categories of study: biological sciences, behavioral science, preclinical dentistry, and clinical dentistry. The biological sciences, such as anatomy, biochemistry and pharmacology and the factual information of the behavioral science and preclinical courses are taught mainly by lecture, seminar or self-instruction, or by any combination of these teaching methods. The technical skills of the preclinical subjects, such as amalgam restorations, denture construction and periodontal therapy, are taught in the laboratory and the clinic. The University of Kentucky College of Dentistry is dedicated to the education of students who are expected to gain the knowledge, competencies, and critical thinking and problem solving skills essential for the practice of dentistry. Please note: the College of Dentistry reserves the right to change the course offerings, content or academic calendar at any time.
