Staatsexamen Dentistry at University of Bonn

Dentistry is concerned with scientifically based diagnosis and treatment of dental, oral, and jaw maladies. Such maladies also include malocclusion of the teeth and missing teeth. Besides the therapeutic measures of removing badly damaged teeth, restorative dental treatment and the construction of dental prostheses, other areas of dentistry have become increasingly important in recent decades, such as the prevention of two common conditions—tooth decay and periodontitis—and the treatment of diseases of the mouth and jaws.
