ทันตกรรมรากเทียมและทันตกรรมบูรณะเพื่อความสวยงาม

RATIONALE

It has been the vision of the government that Thailand would be the center for dental health care in the South-East Asian region, which corresponds to the guiding principle of Chulalongkorn University, that all faculties are rapid in establishing graduate international programs, in order to be able to compete with other renown universities, and to get the school ready to be self-governing and independent. In addition, external threats, i.e. competition of providing higher education courses among leading dental schools, increased popularity of attending continuing education courses provided by private sectors, are to be concerned. The Faculty of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University realizes the necessities of producing trained specialized dentists in the international standard to accommodate the policy of the government as well as that of the university’s. To achieve the above-mentioned goal, there is an absolute need to develop an attractive and highly modernized program by collaboration of faculty members in multi-disciplines. Besides, there is the need to provide treatments in the setting of dental clinic that does not attach to the government pattern. Additionally, creation of atmosphere that accommodates with the teaching and learning process is required. Hopefully the Program of Implant and Esthetic Dentistry (CUIE)  will set a standard for other upcoming international dental education programs.
