[Dentists' opinion about their dental education in ACTA from 1990 to 1997].
OBJECTIVE
To assess the dentists' opinion on their (under)graduate dental education.


METHODS
Descriptive survey, questionnaire.


METHODS
Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam, The Netherlands.


METHODS
432 dentists who were graduated from the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam between 1989-1997, were asked to give their opinion on their dental education.


RESULTS
From all graduates 43.1% thought the treatment of patients as practiced during their training didn't correspond with the treatment of patients in their present practice. However 75.9% of the respondents thought they had gained enough experience during their dental education to enable them to work as a general practitioner.


CONCLUSIONS
The results show that most respondents were content with the received dental education. The results correspond largely with the results found in a similar survey done in 1990.
