Iran
In Iran dentists require six years of post secondary education. The whole program is one single degree of D.D.S. (Doctor of dental surgery). After this, those wishing to specialize in a particular field may pursue higher education. Upon graduation, a dentist may need to fulfill two years of military service(as a dentist in uniform for males) or governmental service(both males and females) in order to collect enough scores to start in private practice. The current universities offering Dentistry are:

Famous quotes containing the word iran:
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
