Abstract
- A survey of Australian and New Zealand Dental Schools was carried out in 1993, aimed at assessing time allocation and curriculum content in relation to dental implants. Considerable variation was evident at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Continuing education courses in single-tooth implant surgery are available for general dental practitioners under carefully controlled circumstances. At the postgraduate level a formal University Diploma course in oral implants is now available at the University of Sydney. Dental educators must continue to react to the changing community scene in restorative dentistry, in terms of both need and demand. Educators must also be cognizant of the rapidity of change occurring in the area of implant dentistry. The provision of high-quality implant treatment and service is dependent on continual review of training and education at all levels of the dental profession.
