SIGNIFICANCE

The College as a Premier Dental College in Africa, and has the record of training all frontline Dental Technologists and Therapists in Africa, is in the processes of mounting some new critical additional programmes in the future  and admission of Students to the College is usually processed through JAMB since 1997.

The College is the only Federal Government owned Institution in West Africa that trained Dental Technologists, Dental Therapists and Dental Nursing in Sub-Saharan Africa. 

SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO NIGERIAN MEDICAL AND HEALTH SECTOR GROWTH

The Graduates of these courses are considered very vital to the development of Nigeria and Africa at large as they play the important role of fortifying the Medical and Dental health team; for instance, the Dental Technologists remained the only set of professionals in the world that produce and fabricate Artificial Teeth, Eyeballs, exterior part of the Nose, Ear, Fingers, Lips and Skull. While the Dental Nurses are the only specialist that are trained in providing nursing services and care to Dental and Oral Maxillo-facial patients that have undergone surgical operations. Also, the Dental Therapists are responsible for maintenance of professional oral hygiene for prevention of diseases and infection as well as Oral Health Education. We are also aware that Prosthetics and Orthotics also trained in the College are the only professionals that fabricate and replace lost limps and arms while the Bio Medical Engineers are trained in the Art, Science and Techniques of Fabrication, Maintenance and Servicing of Medical and Dental Equipment for the good functioning of hospitals. More importantly Sir, these professionals are in dire need in our hospitals and are also capable of setting up their own practices/business on graduation without necessarily increasing the labour market but creating jobs and increasing the Gross national product of the economy.
