All types of perfect praise belong to Allah alone the lord of all the worlds, Most gracious. And Allah’s praying upon his prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

The Kulliyyah of Dentistry is located at IIUM Kuantan campus in Bandar Indera Mahkota, about 5 km from the Kuantan town centre. Kulliyyah of Dentistry is a part of an elite university, as it is the most international university in Malaysia by student composition, with student’s intake from more than 95 different countries from around the world. The other unique aspect of IIUM is the high inspiration by the concept of Islamicization of human knowledge and the idea of Tawheed. The use of English as the medium of communication is done to facilitate our status as an international learning institution, admitting Malaysians as well as non-Malaysians. 

Since January 2012, we started to use the new complex of Kulliyyah of Dentistry with state-of-art polyclinic, laboratory facilities and teaching aids, all of this will make a high standard of dental education in Malaysia. The facilities in KOD is one of the most contemporary in the world, a fact that we should all be proud of as for once, a Malaysian dental school is in pole position. It is also imperative that the quality of education and students are aligned in the same concept.

Kulliyyah of Dentistry well balanced programme that includes character and leadership building, scientific knowledge, critical thinking, and clinical skills training with early clinical exposure; will produce highly trained world-class dental surgeons with clinical skills and biologic orientation in dental treatment, our graduate is  a dentist concerned with the repair of the current dental problems and capable of prevention of oral diseases and maintenance of oral health thorough scientific background as well as knowledge. In addition to that, they must be able to self-learning throughout their professional life, and they must also be of the highest moral character.

Inculcation of Islamic values in our students guarantee graduates with the culture of respect, caring attitude, unity and loyalty, regardless of race, religion or belief of the patient. All of that will greatly enhance patient’s appearance, self-esteem and confidence.
