               Degree course in Dentistry in Italy.
               In 1980, a decree signed by the President of the Italian Republic, on. Sandro Pertini, founded this de-

               quired the first graduates in Dentistry by 1984. For this reason, the first two years of this new course
               were activated simultaneously, reserving the 80% of the second year places to the students of Medi-

               A very long way has gone through since those days, when dental students were called “odonto-schrumpf”.

               The experience of these 30 years, produced an enhancement of the course from the original five-ye-

               Our discipline during these last 30 years had a great development, preparing the graduates to satisfy
