title: CASES--clinical audit; scenarios for evaluation and study.
abstract: CASES, an audit and continuing education programme, evaluated aspects of current orthodontic practice and allowed orthodontists to identify areas where their practice differed from regional and national results. Evaluation of the CASES programme verified its value in audit and continuing education and the authors hope it will encourage similar projects in other disciplines too.
