Dentistry at Palacky University Olomouc is a five-year English-taught programme at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. It leads to Doctor of Dentistry, abbreviated MDDr.
This is a smaller and more selective Palacky route than General Medicine. The faculty says around 80 new students are enrolled for Medicine each year, while Dentistry is listed at only 15-20 new students. That means students should treat Dentistry as its own route, not as a fallback version of Medicine.

Students who want an English-taught Czech Dentistry degree in a compact student city, with clinical teaching connected to a university hospital campus.
Degree outcome
The faculty describes Dentistry as a five-year full-time Master's programme leading to Doctor of Dentistry, abbreviated MDDr.
Recognition note
The faculty says the English programme conforms to European Union standards. Licensing still depends on the country where you want to work after graduation.

Dental disciplines
Key subjects include preventive dentistry, cariology, dental radiology, orthodontics and oral surgery.
Practical training
The faculty highlights practical training as a crucial part of the Dentistry programme.
Final state exams
Final exams include Prosthodontics and Orthodontics, Oral Surgery and Operative Dentistry.
Hospital-campus teaching
The faculty says theoretical and preclinical teaching is located on the University Hospital campus, with clinical disciplines in the University Hospital and no complicated commuting.
Other Palacky route
Palacky also offers General Medicine in English through the same faculty. Medicine has a larger estimated intake but a different degree outcome and curriculum.
Palacky Dentistry preparation needs the same published science model as Medicine, but the smaller intake makes preparation quality more important. Medimentor helps applicants practise Biology and Chemistry, choose the Physics or Mathematics route and build repeatable exam recall.
Biology
Build recall for human biology and general biology before switching to timed exam practice.
Chemistry
Practise chemical theory, calculations and reasoning in a repeatable weekly plan.
Physics or Math
Choose the third science route early so preparation is focused instead of split too thinly.
