The UCLA School of Dentistry, established in 1960, is a nationally recognized center of excellence in dental education, research and patient care. Enrollment is 372 predoctoral students and 100 dental residents and postdoctoral students. Admission to the School is extremely competitive. Each year, 88 students are accepted from more that 1,200 applicants. Once admitted, the rigorous academic curriculum explores the clinical, biological and behavioral aspects of dentistry, with an emphasis on the comprehensive diagnosis and systemic treatment of oral disease.
Despite its relative youth, the School ranks among the best of the nation's 52 dental schools in the federal funds received for research and is a leader in oral cancer, bone biology, wound healing, gene therapy, biomimotics and dental- health services research. The School also houses the Dental Research Institute, an organized research unit of the University of California and a focal point for multi-disciplinary research in the health sciences.
The School operates a 200-chair dental clinic on-campus, the Wilson-Jennings-Bloomfield UCLA Venice Dental Center, the UCLA/Roybal Children's Dental Center in East Los Angeles and the UCLA/USC Mobile Dental Clinic. At the Venice and Roybal clinics, low-cost comprehensive care is provided to low-income or indigent residents of Los Angeles. Patients visits for all clinics number over 71,000 last year.

1999-‘00 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
The School of Dentistry received a $1.1 million continuation grant from the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research for the UCLA-King/Drew Regional Research Center for Minority Oral Health. This will allow the School to continue training minority researchers and conducting research on minority oral health care needs.
Dentistry’s $2.5 million General Clinics Renovation Campaign is 70% funded, buoyed by a $1 million dollar gift from Robin and Steve Kim. In appreciation, the School designated the 2^nd Floor General Clinic, “The Robin and Steve Kim Dental Clinic”..
In October 1999, the School received a $1 million construction grant from the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. These funds will be applied to construction of the Jane and Jerry Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology. Overall, the faculty received a total of $6,017,928 in extramural support in FY 1999-'00.
Since 1995, the School has raised more than $8 million (or 83%) toward its $10 million Campaign UCLA private fundraising goal. With the seven-year campaign continuing until 2002, the School is on a pace to exceed its overall goal.
