title: [Education and qualification of dentists in the Dutch legislation].
abstract: Education and qualification of dentists are linked together in a certain way. The developments with respect to that are described, successively in the period before 1947 and afterwards, since the training of dentists became a university education. This improved education, leading to a broader qualification for the newly trained dentists. As a result of a new law handling of the obtained qualification by a dentist will be related to continuing education to be competent to practice dentistry according to the scientific state of affairs in dentistry.
