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

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
