Competition is a major factor in education on a global scale. National education systems intend to bring out the best in the next generation, by involving students in educational intellectual competitions and offering them incentives for self-improvement.
AEEDC Student Competition provided a unique opportunity to all dental students. Students in their last academic years can actively interact with their counterparts from different dental colleges and universities through a face-to-face competition, with a vision of exchanging information, knowledge and expanding their horizons on various issues of dentistry. Competing students will be challenged to engage with Dental questions in various subjects ranging from Infection Control and Four Handed Dentistry to Implantology and Oral Surgery.
