Notes

Derived: count of institutions = 1 (source states NUS Faculty of Dentistry is 'Singapore’s only dental school'; no numeral in text). Statement dated 2019; still consistent in 2024 with SingStat M850511 (only one dentistry first-degree stream). Q&M's private 'dental college' (Q&M AR2025) is not a BDS-granting school. NUS sites were not fetched (Incapsula bot wall).

Metric definition
