Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry

The school consisted of four departments. In 1970–1980, academic dentistry in Wroclaw functioned as the Institute of Dentistry. In December 1981, the school of dentistry was reunited with the Faculty of Medicine. The Faculty of Dentistry was established on November 16, 2000. Prominent Polish scientists conducted research in dentistry in Wroclaw, including the following professors: Noemi Wigdorowicz-Makowerowa, Tadeusz Owi´nski, Adam Masztalerz, Stanislaw Potoczek, Bogumil Plonka, Tadeusz Pawela, Ignacy Pietrzycki and many others. In 2003–2006, the scientific and training facilities were moved to a new building. The Faculty regained the right to issue degrees in dental medicine (in the last three years the Faculty has granted 26 degrees). The Faculty, as one of five in Poland, has received the longest possible accreditation from the State Accreditation Committee. Today, it is one of three independent faculties of dentistry in Poland.
