title: [The development of dental research in the Netherlands].
abstract: From the acquisition of an academic status (ius promovendi) in 1947 till now, dental research in the Netherlands has reached maturity. An even increasing body of PhD-theses and publications have found their way towards the international scientific dental community. Since the early nineties most research groups have been brought together in the 'Interuniversitaire Onderzoekschool Tandheelkunde' (Netherlands Institute for Dental Sciences), a collaboration of the academic dental institutions in Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Utrecht.
