title: The orthodontic skill mix in Sweden.
abstract: During 1989 I visited the Institute of Postgraduate Dental Education, Jonkoping, Sweden. The trip was funded by a T.C. White Travel Grant from the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow and the Cordent Dental Trust. The aim of the visit was to observe the methods of teaching orthodontics to general dental practitioners, in Jonkoping, and to discover the role of dental nurses in providing orthodontic treatment in Sweden.
