title: Updating practices among Yorkshire general dental practitioners.
abstract: Ninety-eight per cent was the response achieved by a June 1989 postal survey to determine how general dental practitioners (GDPs) in Yorkshire Region maintain their professional knowledge. Such a good response adds confidence to the survey's findings which show many GDPs are educationally active and use a variety of media to keep up to date. Nevertheless, there remains a substantial proportion who should be doing more and need encouragement.
