The Pediatric Dentistry Specialist Dentist Education Program is one of 7 FKG Specialist Dentistry Education Programs which was established based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No.0211/U/1982 in four educational institutions, namely UI, Unair, UGM and Unpad. Along with the times and technological advances, the community’s need for pediatric dentistry services is increasing. However, this need is not matched by an adequate number of pediatric dentistry specialists, especially in eastern Indonesia.
