It is one of several dental schools in the state of Pennsylvania. The average incoming class is 140 students.
Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry was established in 1863 as Philadelphia Dental College and is the second oldest continually functioning dental school in the country.[citation needed] The school became part of Temple University in 1907.[1][2] Formerly known as the Temple University School of Dentistry, the school's name was changed in December 2006 after a $10 million donation by the estate of Maurice H. Kornberg.
The school, located in North Philadelphia, is known for its clinical experience as well as community involvement.
