FINAL year students in 18 dental schools in Malaysia had the opportunity to put their skills to the test in a recent competition, held for the first time outside the United Kingdom by the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd).

Managed by its Faculty of Dental Surgery (FDS), the Dental Clinical Skills Competition, which had been hosted in the UK over the last eight years, saw the participants executing a series of challenging tasks, which included a crown preparation on a maxillary canine tooth and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) assignments.
