title: [Post-academic dental specialties. 10. Post-academic specialization in pediatric dentistry].
abstract: As is the case with other dental disciplines, pediatric dentistry has moved in the direction of a specialized educational programme. After a cautious start at the end of the last century, the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) and the Dutch Association of Pediatric Dentistry have now recognized the previously existing programme at the Academic Center for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA) and a register for dentists-pedodontologists has been established. Recently, about 30 dentist-pedodontologists have received their certification. They work in private practice, pedodontic secondary dental practice and centers for special dental care as well as in university (hospital) clinics. They willingly assist the general dental practitioner with advice and active treatments.
