What makes this pathway distinctive is the early and continuous integration of dentistry: students move from foundational science into structured preclinical training, then into mentored clinical practice with increasing responsibility. By the senior years, the focus is firmly on high-volume, patient-oriented clinical development.
Teaching is delivered through small-group learning, close faculty mentorship, case-based reasoning, and hands-on practice, ensuring every student is actively engaged and individually supported.
The programme is aligned with contemporary European expectations and ADEE principles, with clear emphasis on patient safety, professionalism, ethics, communication, evidence-based care, and lifelong learning.
Program
The SSST Dentistry programme combines medicine and dental science in a clear developmental pathway: fundamental biomedical knowledge first, advanced clinical competence next.
At SSST Dentistry, we educate future dentists through a curriculum built on strong medical foundations and early clinical relevance. Students begin with rigorous biomedical sciences, then progressively transition into preclinical and clinically mentored training with increasing responsibility. Our teaching model combines small-group learning, close faculty supervision, case-based learning, and intensive hands-on practice. The programme is designed to produce graduates who are scientifically grounded, clinically confident, and ethically responsible. It is aligned with contemporary European expectations and ADEE principles for modern dental education.
Students develop competencies expected of modern dental professionals: critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, ethical judgment, patient communication, and team-based care. The result is a graduate prepared for real clinical environments, continued specialist training, and responsible practice in an evolving healthcare system.
Students
Our students learn in an environment that is academically demanding, supportive, and highly practical. From early study years onward, they are encouraged to connect theory with clinical relevance and to develop confidence through structured hands-on training.
We emphasize professionalism, empathy, and responsibility together with academic excellence. Through small-group teaching and close mentorship, students receive individualized support to strengthen knowledge, technical ability, and decision-making in patient care. In this way, we educate not only outstanding doctors of dental medicine, but responsible professionals who understand their responsibility to patients, the profession, and society, and who are prepared to work within healthcare systems worldwide.
Faculty
Our faculty consists of experienced clinicians and academics committed to high standards in dental education. Teaching is structured to be interactive, clinically relevant, and evidence-informed, with clear links between biomedical science and daily dental practice. Thanks to our professors, doors to congresses, professional lectures, and international events in dentistry are also open to our students.
Faculty members mentor students closely, especially in small-group and practical settings, helping them build competence progressively from preclinical techniques to supervised clinical performance. This approach supports consistency, accountability, and quality outcomes for every cohort. In addition, students actively participate in socially responsible initiatives related to oral health and broader public-health awareness.
Facilities
SSST provides modern teaching and clinical-learning infrastructure designed to support each phase of dental training: foundational science learning, preclinical skills development, and clinically oriented practical education.
Students train in well-equipped laboratories and practice environments that simulate professional standards and promote patient safety. Combined with supervised clinical exposure and structured practical placements, these facilities help students transition confidently from foundational learning to advanced clinical competence.

SSST Dentistry means: Excellence in dentiStry, reSponsibility in practice, readineSs for The world.
Teaching is fully aligned with contemporary standards of the dental profession; however, when it comes to knowledge transfer, we rely on what has proven to be the most effective method based on small-group learning and a highly individualised approach to students. Studying in a truly multicultural academic environment enriches SSST students perspective, communication skills, and professional development.
Clinical training begins in the second year of study, providing students with early, supervised exposure to patient care and continuous evaluation of their clinical skills. Teaching is delivered by academically recognised professors and certified clinical practitioners from the country and abroad, ensuring strong integration of theory and practice.
Thanks to our professors, doors to congresses, professional lectures, and international events in dentistry are also open to our students. In addition, students actively participate in socially responsible initiatives related to oral health and broader public-health awareness.
In this way, we educate not only outstanding doctors of dental medicine, but responsible professionals who understand their responsibility to patients, the profession, and society, and who are prepared to work within healthcare systems worldwide.
