title: [Pilot study of the professional practice plans of final-year dental students at the State University of Ghent].
abstract: A recent investigation among 82 last year dental students at the State University of Ghent reveals the following data concerning their professional activity plans: --64,63% wish to establish a private practice immediately after the end of their studies. --17%, mostly women, choose a cooperation with an already established dentist. --only 9,75% have the possibility to stay at the university. --13,45% have not yet taken a final decision. --only 2,43% choose to work in a larger, non-university, clinic. A more advanced study for establishing other professional possibilities for the young dentist would be useful, the more that at present in some districts of Belgium a saturation level already has or nearly has been reached.
