Dental specialist lists: are they necessary?
It is usual to hold debates with a live audience. However, they can be held via the written word. Indeed, Letters to the Editor and responses are in many ways a debate. Specialist lists were introduced by the General Dental Council in 1997 and have been discussed ever since. This discussion  will doubtless continue for many years. Two longstanding Faculty members have strong views on the topic. They were therefore invited to conduct a written debate to mark the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Faculty.
