A questionnaire was devised involving a group of dental students (n = 70) and a group comprising all consultant orthodontists in the UK (n = 170) to investigate the prevalence and role of handedness in dental specialisation. Subjects were classified as being pure left-, mixed- or pure right-handed according to responses to a hand preference questionnaire and the results were compared with a very similar previous study of the general population. The prevalence of sinistrality (self-classified by writing) was recorded as 8.6% among dental students and 17.2% amongst orthodontists; this compares with 7.4% among the general population. More mixed-handers presented in both the dental groups compared to the general population. This agreed with the right shift theory of laterality. No significant correlation was noted between handedness and any other variable between the two dental groups.

This MRI update brings you details of two research projects that are currently underway. The first is a project by Mark Bowen researching into multidisciplinary liaisons and whether it can improve patient care. The second is about the influence of quality management on the success of dental practices by David Ward, a GDP working in Sheffield.
