KSMA's Dentistry

Dentistry is a professional career dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis,

prevention and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial
area (upper and lower jaws), associated structures next to these areas and their impact on the
human body. Oral health is widely considered necessary for complete general health. As a dentist,
you are a member of the healthcare team providing advice to the public about oral healthcare.
Your job will also include restoring function to badly decayed, broken or infected teeth, replacing
missing teeth with dentures, bridges or implant-supported prostheses, treatment of oral diseases
such as inflammatory diseases of gum and supporting tissues, destructive diseases such as cancer
of the oral tissues, the aligning and straightening of teeth.
Dentists work is not confined to filling and pulling out teeth. The care that
dentists are trained to provide greatly improves the quality of their patients lives. Oral diseases
like tooth decay, gum diseases and oral cancer, malocclusion (when teeth in the upper and lower
jaws do not fit properly), genetic deformities and anomalies affecting the oro-facial complex, and
other oral problems can cause a great deal of discomfort, pain and adversely affect oral functions
such as chewing food, talking or playing of musical instruments. A patients appearance, self-
esteem and confidence can also be greatly enhanced through various types of dental procedures.
Dentists are usually not required to be on call at night nor to make house calls.
Thus it is easier for dentists to achieve a perfect balance between their professional and personal
lives.
A wide variety of teaching-learning approaches are employed in the dental
program to provide a stimulating environment for learning. These include lectures, problem
based learning (PBL), practical classes, patient simulation practical, clinical skills sessions, e-
learning, independent learning, clinical dental treatment of patients and postings to various
hospitals and clinics.
 Degrees Offered: D.M.D. - Doctor of Dental Medicine (only in Russian)
Length: 10 semesters, including successful testing of the State examination.

Kyrgyz Ala-Too range, an extension of the Tian Shan mountain range, which rises up to 4,855 meters
(15,928 ft) and provides a spectacular backdrop to the city. North of the city, a fertile and gently
undulating steppe extends far north into neighboring Kazakhstan. The Chui River drains most of the area.

on both sides by narrow irrigation channels that water the innumerable trees which provide shade in the
hot summers.
