In the early days of the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, the Prothetics Section (now the Prosthodontics Section) was formed with the Head of the Section, drg. R.M. Soelarko; Orthodontics Section with the Head of Section drg. The Gwat Lan; Operational Dentistry Division (now Dental Conservation Division), headed by drg. The Se Hon; The Periodontics Section was formed in 1960 led by drg. R.M. Soelarko and drg. Tjan Hong Lian as his representative. In 1961 the Division of Public Health Sciences was formed, with the Head of the Division, drg. R.G. Soeria Soemantri, MPH. In 1962, in collaboration with Rancabadak Hospital, the Oral Surgery Division was formed, led by Colonel (CDG) drg. S. Roesli, assisted by drg. Tandarts Kaak Chirurg (dentist for jaw surgery) Gan Ho Tjing, who came from Groningen University in the Netherlands and was assigned to Rancabadak Hospital (now Hasan Sadikin Hospital) in 1958-1964 (http://www.fkg.unpad.ac.id, accessed on June 26, 2016 at 16.05).

Oral Surgery Clinic Hasan Sadikin Hospital was inaugurated on July 1, 1967. In 1971 the Advanced School of Oral Surgery (SLOS) was established with the Rector's Decree No. 12/Kep. Unpad/1971. In subsequent developments, SLOS became the Oral Surgery Specialist Dentist Education Program (PPDGS), along with three other Specialist Dentist Education Programs, namely the Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, and Pedodontics Program which was established in 1984, as well as the Periodontics Program and the Dental Conservation Program which was established in 1999 ( Ekadjati, (ed.), 1999: 147). Starting in 2003, the International Class was opened, whose students came from abroad by implementing Student Active Learning with the Problem Based Learning learning method for regular students (Guidelines for Educational Implementation of the Faculty of Dentistry 2014/2015 Academic Year, 2014).

Subsequently, the Dental Radiology Study Program was opened in 2008, and the Oral Disease Specialization Program was opened in 2010 (Guidelines for Educational Implementation of the Faculty of Dentistry, 2014/2015 Academic Year, 2014). Until 2016 (end of the 2015/2016 academic year) the education program at the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran organized academic education programs, consisting of the Dentist Education Program, the Dentist Professional Education Program, and the English Teaching Dentist Education Program (PKPBI). , and Specialist Dentist Education Program. Specialist Dentistry Education Program, consisting of Periodontists, Pediatric Dentistry, Oral Surgery, Radiology, Prosthodontics, Oral Medicine, Orthodontics, and Dental Conservation (http://www.fkg .unpad.ac.id, accessed on 26 June 2016, at 4:04 p.m.).

The establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran was based on the idea that there were relatively few dentists in Indonesia in 1956-1957 and the education of dentists at that time joined the medical faculty. It also only exists at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta and Airlangga University, Surabaya. This condition prompted the Executive Board of the Indonesian Dentist Association (PDGI), including Prof. Drg. Soeria Soemantri, MPH and Prof. Dr. RM Soelarko to establish new dental faculties in accordance with the ideals of PDGI, namely:

1. Dentist education must follow the direct system of educating dentists because the dentist profession develops parallel to the medical profession. Dentistry is a human health and can be achieved through engineering, life, and pure science.

2. Dentistry education is held in a separate faculty which has its own dean and budget, is not incorporated or is part of another faculty.

3. The leadership of the Faculty of Dentistry must be a dentist because only dentists understand and fight for the various interests of the dental faculty in accordance with the interests of the dental corps.

4. Faculty of Dentistry was established in strategically large cities to facilitate the gathering of students from various regions in the country (Ekadjati, (ed.), 1999: 141-142).

Furthermore, the Chair and Secretary of PB-PDGI (Prof. drg. Soeria Soemantri, MPH and Prof. Dr. RM Soelarko) proposed the establishment of a FKG in Jakarta, because Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia and there is already a UI Faculty of Medicine, the proposal was rejected by the President of UI. , Prof. Bahder Djohan. PB-PDGI reports to the Secretary General of Education and Culture, Hutasoit. Hutasoit then proposed to establish a FKG in Medan as part of the University of North Sumatra. For this reason, a committee for the establishment of the FKG in Medan was formed, led by Drg. Oh Tjie Lien. However, this attempt was not successful. These failures prompted Prof. Drg. Soeria Soemantri, MPH to establish a FKG in Bandung, even though at that time there was no State University and Faculty of Medicine in Bandung.

PB-PDGI then joined the group of Prof. Moehamad Yamin attempted to establish a State University in Bandung. This power formed the West Java Community Committee with the Chairman Prof. Moehamad Yamin, and Deputy Chair Prof. Drg. R.G. Soeria Soemantri, MPH (Ekadjati, (ed.), 199: 142). In 1957 Padjadjaran University was established, with 5 faculties including the Faculty of Medicine. Several figures including dentists, doctors, and community leaders then formed a Committee for the Establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran, consisting of Prof. Dr. R. Moestopo (Dean of FMIPA Padjadjaran University at that time), Prof. Drg. Soeria Soemantri, MPH, R. Soeradiradja, dr. Chasan Boesoiri, Prof. Dr. Naubaeuer.

This effort is supported by the Bandung branch of PDGI which is led by Prof. Drg. Soeria Soemantri, MPH and Prof. Dr. R.M. Soelarko. They are determined that if necessary, the dentist who will become the teaching staff is willing not to accept the honorarium. This determination was accommodated by the President of Padjadjaran University, Prof. Dr., Iwa Kusuma Sumantri, and proposed the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, Padjadjaran University to the Minister of Education and Culture. In 1959, the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 85633/S dated September 1, 1959 concerning the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry, Padjadjaran University, together with the Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University. This Faculty of Dentistry is the first Faculty of Dentistry to be separated from the Faculty of Medicine (Ekadjati, (ed.), 1999: 142-143; Ekadjati, et al., 2000: 268).

Organizing education from 1959 to 1968, FKG used a full semester system, divided into 10 semesters with a minimum study period of 5 years. In 1968, the semester system was changed, and study activities were divided into 5 levels, consisting of 2 semesters for each level (Ekadjati, et al., 2000: 270). In connection with the issuance of the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture No. 0124/U/1979, dated June 8, 1979, followed by the Instruction of the Chancellor of the University of Padjadajran regarding changes in the curriculum structure from the Semester System to Semester Credit Units (SKS), FKG adopted the policy that during the transition to study at FKG the Old Curriculum and the New Curriculum apply.

The old curriculum was applied to students before the 1981/1982 class, while the new curriculum was applied to students from the 1981/1982 class. In the Semester Credit Unit (SKS) system, student achievement is determined by the Grade Point Average (GPA) with a maximum study limit of 14 semesters. In 1982, the implementation of the SKS System at Padjadjaran University gave the possibility to divide Dentistry education into two stages, namely the Bachelor of Dentistry Education Stage (SKG) and the Dental Professional Education Stage (FKG). The total credit load of SKG is 150 credits with a study period of 8-14 semesters.

In this stage, student activities consist of lectures, practicum, clinic, and thesis. Meanwhile, the total credit load for the education stage (PKG) is 19 credits with a study period of 2-4 semesters. PKG education activities are carried out in the registrar's office covering the following branches of knowledge: (1) Oral Surgery; (2) Prosthodontics; (3) Periodontics; (4) Dental Conservation Science; (5) Pedodontics; (6) Orthodontics; (7) Public Health Sciences. This activity is carried out in the clinics of the FKG Universitas Padjadjaran Sekeloa, RSHS, or field work for Public Health Sciences (Ekadjati, et al., 2000: 276). Starting in 1995, enforced

The National Curriculum for Dentist education in Indonesia consists of two programs. First, the Bachelor of Dentistry Program, 8-12 semesters of study with a study load of 144 credits. Second, the Professional Program, the study duration is 3-6 semesters with a study load of 20 credits (Ekadjati, (ed.), 1999: 148). For the 2015/2016 academic year, the length of study for the Bachelor of Dentistry Education Program is 8 semesters. Extension can be done by submitting an application with a maximum limit of 14 semesters. The learning process uses a student-centered learning method with a competency-based curriculum, which refers to the Indonesian Dentist Competency Standards, consisting of 6 domains and 40 main competencies.

The six domains are professionalism, mastery of medical and dental science, general physical examination and the stomatognathic system, restoration of the function of the stomatognathic system, dental and oral health of the community, and management of dental practice (Guidelines for Educational Implementation of the Faculty of Dentistry Academic Year 2015/ 2016).
