- The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) is the authoritative body responsible for the registration and regulation of dental practitioners in Bangladesh.
- It ensures that dental professionals meet the required educational and ethical standards to practice legally.
- Unlike the Bangladesh Dental Association, which is a professional body, BMDC holds the statutory power to grant licenses and maintain the official registry.
- This regulatory role includes overseeing dental education, licensing, and professional conduct to safeguard public health.
