The primary objective of Sapporo Dental College and Hospital (SDCH) is to promote the level of dental education and heath care in Bangladesh by increasing the number of well trained oral health professionals in the country. At present the number of graduate dentists in for population of over 150 million, the dentist patient ratio being one of the lowest in the world. The past few decades have witnessed tremendous development worldwide in the field of oral health in general and in various disciplines of dentistry in particular. Unfortunately, Bangladesh could not benefit from these developments mainly due to inadequate planning and misdistribution of resources.
The initiative to set up Sapporo Dental College and Hospital was taken in 1993 by a group of dental graduates with a view to develop oral health-care facilities in Bangladesh in line with global standards of scientific and technological development and proficiency achieved in this field. Initially, this group of dentists having higher education in Japan and the US with specialization in different branches of clinical dentistry started a dental clinic named “Sapporo Dental Care”. Dental Patients are treated in this clinic by a multidisciplinary team approach which is a pioneering venture in dental health care in Bangladesh.
In order to make the services available to a greater number of people, other dentists competent in different fields of specialization joined Sapporo Dental Care. In this context, it would be appropriate to state that Sapporo Dental College and Hospital (SDCH) is a natural transformation of Sapporo Dental Care. The institute is aimed at elevation the level of dentistry in Bangladesh by offering standard and methodical dental education to students as well as to provide efficient and caring treatment to dental patients. Eventually, dentists educated and trained in the SDCH are expected to spread all over the country to meet the oral health needs of the people.
