Dental education--meeting the demands of implant dentistry.
Implant education is undergoing a transition from short, often superficial, continuing education to extended, hands-on experiences, based on clinical case studies. Dental schools previously ignored the need for in-depth implant education. Policy decisions related to future education are being considered in most dental undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. A broad-based implant education concept is proposed to meet the demands of a rapidly developing discipline.
