Dental Registration Exam
EXAMINATION PRIOR TO REGISTRATION AS A DENTAL SURGEON

Consequently, any person possessing a “diploma in dental surgery” or an equivalent qualification (for e.g. BDS) and who wishes to obtain registration as a dental surgeon is informed that he has to appear in a “Dental Registration Examination” which will be conducted by the Dental Council of Mauritius.
