title: The alcohol-impaired dentist: an educational challenge.
abstract: A cross-sectional survey of 370 dental practitioners, a 74% response rate, was conducted and data collected. Prevailing attitudes within the dental profession toward the alcohol abuser and the role of peer intervention were recorded. Data collectively indicated a need for further strengthening educational efforts and the need for further development of a peer-assistance network.
