Today’s world requires dentists not only to have specialized skills but also to have an awareness based on care and kindness so that they constantly question their special knowledge and techniques.

Therefore, the major aim of general studies at Matsumoto Dental University is to enable students to approach problems based on their own understanding so that they are able to acquire a high level of culture and learn the basics of specialized knowledge and to always question the correctness of their judgments.

Specialized studies in dentistry require specialized training. Students train under conditions very similar to those in the actual workplace using life-sized models and specimens, as well as actual medical equipment used for treatment, in order to incorporate the knowledge they learn during lecture.

Clinical training, the final stage of dental study, is provided from the latter half of the fifth year to the first half of the sixth year in the university's own hospital. Students participate in the actual treatment of patients under the supervision of specialized instructors. Training covers treatment in periodontics, restorative dentistry, prosthetic dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics, dental radiology, pediatric dentistry, special dentistry, and dental anesthesiology.
