title: [Dentist and title. The importance of science for dentistry].
abstract: Dentistry as a science is relatively new. In the Netherlands dental research has developed progressively during the last decades. This however, has only slightly influenced the training of dental students. In this article the interest of science to dentistry and dental training is explained from the point of view of dentistry as a developing science, from the point of view of the problem solving clinician and from the learning student.
