title: Hospital dentistry and GPRs. A relationship with a past.
abstract: Dental programs have evolved from an occasional component of hospitals to fully recognized departments within the structure of most institutions. A review is presented of some of these developments, including the initiation of general practice residency (GPR) programs and training in a residency program as a substitute for the standard licensing examination.
