NDCS and NYP ink MoU to boost digital dentistry

The partnership offers internships and learning journeys on CAD/CAM and dentofacial imaging.

The National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS) and Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to prepare biomedical engineering students for using digital technologies in dentistry.

The MoU will offer internships and learning journeys for students to gain insights into computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and dentofacial imaging in dentistry.

“Digital dentistry is a rapidly growing field that has gained significant traction in recent years. Advancements in technology have greatly expanded its applications and capabilities, leading to its emergence as a distinct field within dentistry.” Goh Bee Tin, Chief Executive Officer of NDCS, said.

“Through this MOU, we hope to train and empower a pipeline of talent that will redefine and elevate the landscape of dental care in Singapore," Goh added.

The first learning journey will commence on 31 May with 20 to 30 biomedical engineering students set to visit NDCS where its clinical engineers will share their work experience in the Digital Dentistry Unit.

Meanwhile, Internship placement at NDCS is planned between the end of the year and early 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
