Master of Paediatric Dentistry

INTRODUCTION

Master of Paediatric Dentistry is a specialty program which is offered by the School of Dental Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

The program is established to train dental graduates to become Paediatric Dentistry specialists. Up to the year 2020, there are less than 70 Paediatric Dentistry specialists in Malaysia.
