Prospects and brief introduction about faculty of Stomatology of Khatam Al-Nabieen University (pbuh): the people who live in rural and remote areas of our beloved country are not having adequately access to dental care services and so far they have been treated by traditionally experienced and unprofessional people. The actions taken by these unprofessional people in the tooth section are harmful to the health of the people and on the other hand, cause transmission of viral and infectious diseases among the people.

On the other hand, in the cities of our beloved countries, a number of technicians and Dentures, just after two years of study, attend dental care services that do not have sufficient expertise and experience to provide standardized services to our peoples. Health services in the dental sector, both in cities and in rural areas, are not enough professional, therefore they transmit viral and infectious diseases to the people.

Therefore, Khatam Alnnabieen University postulated to establish the Faculty of Dentistry (Stomatology) at the Khatam Al Nabieen University, in order to train specialist and in order to fill the gaps in the country. They will provide standard dental care in the near future in the dental sector, and all our compatriots who are living in cities and distant areas will benefit from standardized dental care services and they will play effective role in controlling the high prevalence of infectious and viral diseases imposed by unprofessional people. This faculty was formally established by the Khatam Al Nnabieen University in 2016 with the official permit number 182.1818 granted by the Ministry of Higher Education of the country.
