History.
The International Congress of Dental Medicine for Students and Young Dentists DENTis is already a tradition for the Faculty of Dental Medicine of Cluj-Napoca. Year by year, students from all over the country (Timișoara, București, Târgu-Mureș, Iași, Craiova, Sibiu, Constanța, etc.) and not only, gather in Cluj-Napoca and present their research papers.
The DENTis Congress represents a good opportunity to establish beneficial relationships on scientific, social and professional levels, by debating aspects of maximum importance in the Dental Medicine field. It provides dental students and young doctors the opportunity to present the results of their research in a suitable setting, facilitates the meeting of dental students from the country and abroad, creates the necessary framework for presenting the latest news, while participants have the chance to meet big personalities in Dental Medicine field and get to know the culture of the area.
Year by year, the Local Organising Committee tries to establish more connections with the organisations from abroad in order to create new opportunities for them to participate.
„Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Cluj-Napoca is one of the best in the country with around 1200 students who are studying in order to become dentists or dental technicians.
Furthermore, in order for them to refine in their training, The Organisation of Dental Students of Cluj-Napoca is planning the 20th edition of the International Congress of Dental Medicine for Students and Young Dentists DENTis, a tradition for the cultural and educational medical system of Cluj-Napoca.
DENTis represents a good opportunity to establish beneficial relationships with other students from this field or passionate about research. We have always hosted participants from universities all over Romania and Chișinău. The feedback of this project has improved from one edition to another, reaching an excellent level over the past years, and the number of participants from other countries is increasing with every edition of DENTis.
