It serves as a defining clinical experience for dental students by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the evaluation and management of tooth-related esthetic problems. The curriculum includes both didactic and clinical components and involves a clinical training program. The clinical training program involves the clinical application of principles and skills acquired, based on a comprehensive approach in oral health care.
