title: Dental education and the European context.
abstract: Two hundred and sixteen additional dentists enter the Register from Europe annually [corrected]. Dental educational standards vary widely across Europe. Convergence is best promoted through exchanges (SOCRATES) and voluntary school visitations (DENTED). UK standards are set by the GDC and maintained by the schools. Consequently no school should be closed in response to current immigration levels by European dentists.
