This article provides a detailed syllabus structure for the Written Examination for the posts of Medical Teachers (Dentistry) under RajMES, drafted from previous year examinations, standard patterns used by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), and typical frameworks adopted in earlier RajMES faculty recruitments.

The written examination for a specialized post such as Assistant Professor / Associate Professor (Dentistry) generally evaluates the candidate’s command over the MDS curriculum along with their understanding of foundational pre-clinical subjects and general knowledge required for a government faculty position.

Oral manifestations of systemic diseases. Advanced oral microbiology with special reference to caries and periodontal pathogens.
Prosthodontics	Complete denture principles, steps, impression techniques, jaw relations, retention, stability. Removable Partial Dentures (components, design principles). Fixed Partial Dentures (tooth preparation, pontic design, connectors). Basics of implantology. Dental materials used in prosthodontics.
