The preclinical module – the third year - prepares students for the clinical patient care by focusing on mastering the manual skills that will be applied later on.
The preclinical module in the 3rd year prepares students for the clinical patient care by focusing on mastering the manual skills, that will be applied later on in the clinical module. After the third year more emphasis is placed on the study of dental diseases and their clinical treatment.
