Introduction
The Department of Dentistry, forerunner of the School of Dentistry (SOD), was founded at the same time as the Taipei Medical College (TMC). In 2000, the College of Oral Medicine was established when TMC became the Taipei Medical University (TMU).
The college provided a framework for a complete oral medical education system, which includes three departments (Department of Dentistry, Department of Dental Technology, Department of Oral Hygiene), as well as the Graduate Institute of Biomedical Materials & Tissue Engineering, and Master's and Ph.D. programs.
The dental clinic, which began its operation in 1976 when the TMU Hospital was established, provides students with internship opportunities. In recent years, dentistry has grown and flourished rapidly. With its collaboration with the TMU Hospital, Wan Fang Hospital and the Shuang Ho Hospital, TMC has become the largest clinical teaching center in the greater Taipei area.
