title: [Review of dental study programs: purpose and procedure].
abstract: The Dutch universities jointly developed a review system in order to assess all study programmes within a period of 5 to 6 years. The dental studies were reviewed in 1993. This review system is based on internal quality assessment. For this assessment four aspects are important: conditions, the teaching process, the characteristics of the final product (the dentist) and the course of the evaluation of the study programme. The external quality assessment consists of the writing of a self-study, with a survey of strong and weak points and an own judgement of the dental school with respect to the study programme, and a visit of the visiting committee. The conclusions of this committee are put down in a report which will be published afterwards.
