Introduction and History

Hacettepe University Child Health Institute and Hospital was established in 1957 in Hacettepe and in 1958, it continued its education, training and research activities and went into public service. Hacettepe School of Health Sciences was established in 1961 and became the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in 1963. The School of Dentistry affiliated to this faculty was established as the second dentistry school in Turkey, dentistry education started with 30 students and the education period was determined as 5 years. The School, which gave its first dentistry graduates in 1968, was turned into a faculty in 1971. The History of Dentistry, the first copyrighted work addressed to the Faculty of Dentistry of Hacettepe University, was published in 1973 by Prof. Dr. Yuksel Noras. Due to the need to adapt to contemporary dentistry, Periodontology in 1970, in addition to the Surgery and Prosthodontics; Departments of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology in 1973; Pedodontics and Orthodontics in 1975; Endodontics in 1976 were established.

The faculty building, which was relocated several times in Hacettepe University Sıhhiye Campus, gained its new and modern building in 2009, and post-graduation education, as well as pre-graduate dentistry education, continued to be given with the PhD programs of 8 departments. With the publication of the "Specialty Training in Medicine and Dentistry" regulation in 2011, postgraduate specialty trainings have been started in the Faculty since 2012. In 2018, Oral Biology and Community Oral and Dental Health PhD programs were started by establishing the Oral and Dental Health Research Department under the roof of Hacettepe University Health Sciences Institute in order to train post-specialist researchers. 4263 dentists graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Dentistry, including 2021, the number of those who received a Phd degree is 553, the number of those who have received a specialist degree is 125, 8 specialists and 2 dentists are studying in recently opened PhD programs.
