The Faculty of Dentistry (FKG) at Hasanuddin University (UNHAS) successfully organized an International Guest Lecture as part of the Dental Hard Tissue Disease Course on Friday, 3 April 2026. The event was held online at 2:00 PM (Malaysia and Central Indonesia Time) and featured an esteemed speaker from Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM).
The lecture was delivered by Dr. Vinesh Raj Savumthararaj, a distinguished faculty member from the Faculty of Dentistry, UiTM, Malaysia. He presented a topic entitled “Modern Caries Management: From Detection to Clinical Decision-Making,” which highlighted contemporary approaches in diagnosing and managing dental caries based on evidence-based clinical practices.
The session attracted enthusiastic participation from students, faculty members, and international class attendees. Dr. Vinesh provided valuable insights into early caries detection techniques, risk assessment, and decision-making strategies that are crucial for improving patient outcomes in dental care.
This academic activity was organized by the International Affairs Office of the FKG, UNHAS, as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening global academic collaboration and enhancing the quality of education in the international class program.
Through events like this guest lecture, the faculty continues to support knowledge exchange, foster international partnerships, and expose students to global perspectives in dentistry. It is hoped that such collaborations will lead to more joint academic programs and future engagements between UNHAS and UiTM Malaysia.
