title: [The entrance examination for candidates in (dental) medicine in Flanders].
abstract: The reduction of applicants for studies in dentistry was observed prior to the organization of the entrance examination in the region of Flanders (Belgium). The latter is common with candidates for bachelor in medicine. It does evaluate scientific knowledge but also the capacity to receive and integrate information. Today about half the participants to both annual sessions of the examination pass. The success rate at the end of the first year of the dental studies has increased thanks to this entrance examination to 80%.
