In addition to expanding its range of postgraduate programs to cover all major fields of dentistry and keep pace with advances in dentistry and the evolving global healthcare landscape, the Faculty also offers short-term Continuing Education courses. These courses provide opportunities for dental professionals to acquire advanced knowledge, specialized expertise, and the latest technological innovations in dentistry. Courses are delivered by experienced faculty members and distinguished specialists across a wide range of dental disciplines.

The Faculty of Dentistry launched its Continuing Education (CE) programs in 2017 and continues to offer a broad range of courses designed to address emerging trends, technological advancements, and the evolving needs of the dental profession.

Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry

Contemporary Non-Invasive Approaches to Tooth Discoloration Management: Bleaching, Microabrasion, Polishing, and Resin Infiltration

Providing dental knowledge and services related to the correction of tooth discoloration addresses an increasingly common issue that significantly affects a patient's appearance and confidence. These services aim to help patients achieve a more confident and attractive smile by utilizing relevant knowledge and advanced technologiesranging from the development of dental materials offering a broader range of tooth shades to modern treatment techniques that are more conservative and help minimize the loss of natural tooth structure during the procedure.

Contemporary Ceramic Veneers: The Perfect Smile by TU Restore

A beautiful smile is composed of three key elements: the gums, the teeth, and the lips. With today's advancements in dental technology, achieving a confident and aesthetically pleasing smile has become increasingly possible. This includes both “white aesthetics,” which focuses on the appearance of natural-looking teeth, and “pink aesthetics,” which emphasizes the harmonious appearance of the gingival tissues. These aspects are especially important for patients who feel dissatisfied or lack confidence in their smile due to various dental imperfections. Ceramic veneers represent one of several treatment options available for improving tooth color, shape, and overall smile aesthetics. This procedure requires specialized knowledge and techniques, and must be performed under the close supervision of dental instructors and experts in the related fields.

Advances in Adhesive Dentistry and Direct Anterior Restorations

Restoring teeth for greater longevity, preserving more natural teeth, and achieving a beautiful smile that enhancing a patient's appearance all contribute significantly to their overall quality of life. Successful dental restoration requires not only knowledge of restorative materials, but also the techniques and methods necessary to ensure effective outcomes. Integrating in-depth understanding, advanced clinical skills, and the latest technologies is essential to achieving both functional and aesthetic success. Through hands-on training, practical demonstrations, and discussions with experienced specialists, participants gain valuable knowledge and skills that enhance the quality and predictability of restorative treatment outcomes.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Advanced Dental Implant Surgery

Advanced Dental Implant Surgery is a specialized field that requires multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise. Implant dentistry integrates expertise from oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontology, and prosthodontics to provide comprehensive and predictable treatment outcomes. Successful treatment begins with systematic treatment planning, particularly in complex cases, to ensure outcomes that are not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also tailored to each patient's individual needs and expectations.

At present, many implant dentistry training programs focus primarily on foundational implant concepts and procedures. Advanced implant surgery training requires qualified personnel, advanced technologies, and specialized equipment, factors that have historically limited the availability of such programs. At the same time, there is growing demand among dental practitioners for advanced clinical training in implant dentistry.

In response to this need, the Faculty offers Advanced Dental Implant Surgery training courses designed to enhance participants’ knowledge, clinical skills, and decision-making abilities. These courses aim to improve the quality of patient care and support the continuing professional development of dental practitioners.

Orthognathic Surgery

Geriatric Dentistry

Population aging is a growing global challenge that requires increasing attention from healthcare professionals. Specialized oral healthcare for older adults, particularly those who are bedridden, physically dependent, or living with complex systemic conditions, plays a vital role in maintaining quality of life and overall well-being.



Oral health should be an integral part of comprehensive geriatric care. Poor oral health can adversely affect nutrition, communication, social interaction, and general health outcomes. Recognizing these challenges, the Faculty of Dentistry offers continuing education programs designed to enhance the knowledge and clinical competencies of healthcare professionals involved in the care of older adults and individuals with special healthcare needs.

The Faculty has organized a variety of short-term training programs for dentists, healthcare professionals, and caregivers to improve the quality of oral healthcare services for aging populations and individuals with special needs.

• Oral Healthcare for Older Adults and Individuals with Special Needs (International Program)

• Enhancing the clinical competencies of dentists caring for older adults and individuals with special healthcare needs.

• Strengthening the skills of primary care dentists in managing patients with special healthcare needs across all age groups.

Dental Implant

Periodontal and Implant Soft Tissue Management

Mastering the Tunneling Technique for Predictable Periodontal Plastic Surgery

Gingival recession and soft tissue deficiencies around natural teeth and dental implants can significantly affect both functional and esthetic treatment outcomes. Successful management of these conditions requires accurate diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning, and appropriate selection of surgical techniques.



The tunneling technique has become a well-established approach for soft tissue augmentation and root coverage procedures due to its minimally invasive nature and predictable clinical outcomes. Successful application of this technique requires advanced surgical skills, proper instrument selection, sound clinical judgment, and meticulous execution.

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to perform tunneling procedures effectively and predictably in both natural dentition and implant-related soft tissue management.
