Procédures particulières :

• candidates must have a ‘licence’ degree or a Master’s degree in Dentistry from a Belgian university or a degree recognized as being equivalent by the relevant authorities and be able to practise in Belgium
• candidates must show evidence of having been selected as a generalist at a Belgian faculty of medicine

Further information about the legal requirements and the practical details of the selection examination may be obtained from the office.

The Royal Decree of 30 May 2002 on the availability of dentistry studies, published on 18 June 2002, applies to candidates who wish to gain professional status as general dentists. (These candidates therefore fall into the category of generalists or specialists in the restricted intake.)

Applications should be submitted to the academic in charge of the programme.

The theoretical training comprises :

• seminars (180 hours) on integrated approaches to the patient (discussion of treatment plans and case reports where there is possible interaction with other specialized disciplines and general medical disciplines).
• the part, common to all the training programmes, which leads to the award of professional status in dentistry (70 hours). This part comprises training for independent professional practice as well as interactive seminars on the following topics: economic aspects of bucco-dental treatment, the organization and management of a dental surgery, professional regulation and responsibility, dental computer systems, critical analysis of scientific literature, introduction to legal dentistry, introduction to communication, ergonomics, radiodiagnosis including radioprotection, ethological aspects of health care and the relationship between first and second line health care.
  The course is taught by an inter-university team of lecturers including the professional  associations.

during the clinical training, and in the spirit of combined dentistry, candidates must carry out an adequate number of preventive and rehabilitative treatments on an adequate number of patients and write up the reports. The combined treatments carried out by candidates should include as many disciplines from the basic training as possible.

Students’ practical and theoretical knowledge is assessed. The dissertation is also assessed. 

When the above requirements have been fulfilled, the programme committee will award the academic qualification of Advanced Master in General Dentistry. This is not a substitute for recognition by the ministerial committee. It is evidence of academic and scientific training in the context of specialized training leading to the award of professional status.
