Undergraduate dental education: re-inventing the wheel?

If any valuable progress is to occur, the profession needs to rethink its long-established opinions on this issue and consider where change is actually realised.

Dental practice in Northern Ireland, UK.

A postal survey concerning clinical practice by general practitioners in Northern Ireland U.K. had a response rate of 71.2%. There were little differences in practice between those who had graduated at the Dental School in Belfast (70%) and those who qualified elsewhere. Older dentists appear to undertake less ambitious dentistry and while this might be a reflection of their training, there were some practices of younger dentists such as not using a rubber dam for endodontic treatment which was certainly not taught to them at Dental School.

Dentistry for physically handicapped children in the International Year of the Child.

The dental profession has responded to the challenge of the increasing number of physically handicapped children. Originally, the emphasis was on how the physical disability prevented the delivery of dental treatment. Now, it is recognized that preventive care is the only answer to the problem. It is suggested that eventually all children, irrespective of their handicap, will be best treated in general dental practice.
