Facts & Figures
In 1964 the Revolutionary Council set up a dental college — the only dental education institute in Myanmar — with the technical cooperation of the Colombo Plan.
Since then the institution has grown into a cornerstone of oral-health education: the campus moved to Than Thu Mar Road, Thingangyun in 1997, the College was upgraded to a full University in 2003, and a new main building with a 50-bed Oral and Maxillofacial Teaching Hospital opened in 2005.
Office of the Rector
RectorIt is with great pride and sincere pleasure that I welcome you to the official website of the University of Dental Medicine, Yangon - a leading institution committed to academic excellence, clinical innovation, and community service in the field of dental education in Myanmar.
Our university’s motto, “Dentists: Competency and Community-Oriented,” reminds us of our dual responsibility - to cultivate dental professionals of high clinical skill and to remain responsive to the oral health needs of the public. In alignment with this vision, we actively participated in the Bangkok Declaration 2015 during the ASEAN Dental Forum in Thailand, and we are preparing to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by ASEAN Accreditation and the free flow of dentists across the region.
As Rector, I call upon all members of our University - faculty, staff, students, and alumni - to work hand in hand to ensure that our institution continues to thrive, innovate, and lead. Let us move forward together, embracing change while honoring our heritage, to build a healthier future for the people of Myanmar and beyond.
