The dental scientist model.
A case has been presented for strengthening the science-base of the future dentist. Such a development is essential and inevitable and we must plan the changes in the dental education continuum that will facilitate it. Transfer of advanced clinical training to mandatory post-doctoral education will control the economic impact of the change and improve the education of the dentist tomorrow.
