Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran

What Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran does

Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran (FKG Unpad) is a public dental school in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, established on September 1, 1959 as the first dental faculty in Indonesia to be institutionally separated from a Faculty of Medicine. It operates as a state entity under Universitas Padjadjaran and the Indonesian Ministry of Education, offering a full stack of dental qualifications: an 8-14 semester undergraduate program (SKG), a professional dentist program (Profesi Dokter Gigi), eight specialist programs (PPDGS) covering orthodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, oral medicine, conservative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, dental radiology, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, plus master's (S2) and doctoral (S3) programs. The faculty runs 8 academic departments and 2 research centers — including Indonesia's only Military Dentistry Study Center — and serves roughly 57 listed staff alongside a broader teaching and clinical workforce distributed across 15+ affiliated teaching hospitals, most notably RSGM Unpad, RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin, and RSAB Harapan Kita.

The technical platform centers on dental clinical technology: CBCT 3D imaging, intraoral X-ray, panoramic and cephalometric radiography, dental operating microscopes, oral scanners, and laser equipment for oral medicine, supported by computer and integrated research laboratories. Pedagogically, FKG Unpad applies a block-system curriculum aligned with Indonesian Dental Competency Standards (SKDGI), Problem-Based Learning with the 7 Jumps method in its international class (operating since 2003), and the strategic 'Smart and Green Dentistry' concept introduced in 2021. The faculty publishes three peer-reviewed journals and holds LAM-PTKes accreditations ranging from 'Baik' to 'Unggul' across its programs.

Revenue is generated through three streams: regulated tuition and academic fees paid via Universitas Padjadjaran's centralized SMUP admissions portal for all degree levels; clinical services revenue from RSGM Unpad and the teaching hospital network; and government research grants supporting publications, patents, and community service programs. Student recruitment operates through national SMUP channels, supplemented by the international class for foreign students, an internationalization office, and community outreach events such as BKGN (Bulanan Kesehatan Gigi Nasional). The faculty's primary customer segments are undergraduate dental students, postgraduate dental professionals, and public patients receiving care through RSGM Unpad and community service programs.
