In the second year the students learn & practice in the field of basic medical sciences such as (anatomy, physiology, microbiology histology etc) & basic dental sciences such as (oral histology, oral & teeth, anatomy.etc) 2. Second stage (the transitional stage) : Includes the third year in which the student learn the laboratory procedures in different dental labs , such as : Conservative lab and Prosthodontics lab using the patient simulators (phantom heads). 3.
