Kuantan, May 4, 2009 – The Kulliyyah of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), advances to the forefront of innovativeness in modern facilities in a dental school. This follows the completion of a computerized system that incorporates both the clinical and academic modules.
The successful implementation of the system has resulted from collaboration between the faculty and local Information and Communications technology (ICT) solutions integrator 1001 Technologies Sdn Bhd (1001tech) via the latter’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MSC-Status Amaryllis Sdn Bhd.
“The system would allow our Kulliyyah to be in the league of globally-known dental faculties which are using similar solutions,” said IIUM’s Kulliyyah of Dentistry Dean, Major General Dato' Paduka Professor Dr. Hj. Mohamad Termidzi Hj. Junaidi (retd).
In today’s tech-savvy environment, he said, students are increasingly relying on the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in their learning process.
He adds that it is opportune for The Kulliyyah of Dentistry IIUM and Amaryllis Sdn Bhd to join the rank of early innovators and the elite in enhancing the quality of dental care and compete globally in this field.
Dato’ Professor Dr Mohamad Termidzi was speaking a Project Handing Ceremony held at IIUM’s campus here today.
1001tech Group Executive Chairman Mr Looi Kien Leong attributed the success of the project to the dedication and hard work as well as healthy collaborative spirits of both parties who are keen to make significant contribution to the development Malaysia’s dentistry education and training capabilities.
“The successful implementation of this project also proves that given a chance, local software developers are capable of developing global-standard solutions. I believe that in certain areas, we can even be ahead from the rest of the world,” he said.
Started in late 2007, the IIUM’s Kulliyah of Dentistry project involved, among others, installation of the Amaryllis Dental Management System (DMS) base system as well as development and installation of 7 dental specialist modules. The specialist modules – Periodontics, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Restorative Surgery, Oral Pathology/Oral Medicine, Paediatrics and Forensics – have been designed specifically for application in dental schools and dental specialist surgeries with input provided by the faculty members.
The collaboration also included the creation of innovative software, acronym as “DIET” (Dental Instruction, Evaluation and Training System), which utilizes digital and imaging techniques in evaluating dental student’s simulation and clinical operative techniques.
