title: Dental students' understanding of titanium.
abstract: The understanding of titanium by students in the dental faculty of Tokyo Medical and Dental University was surveyed from 1990 to 1996. A seven-item questionnaire was used in the survey conducted during the first lecture of the dental materials and science course. The students' basic understanding of titanium was not very good and did not improve with time. However, their understanding improved significantly after the lecture and laboratory instructions.
