In 1955, it was finally transformed into the dental faculty of the Kyiv Medical Institute named after academician O. Bohomolets. Today, the faculty employs more than 150 teachers in specialized departments, of which 16 are Doctors of Sciences, 1 Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, 4 Honored workers of science and technology of Ukraine, 7 Honored doctors of Ukraine, more than 1.500 dental students from Ukraine and other countries all over the world study here.
