“…1 In a previous study 2 of current trends in the teaching of complete dentures the authors indicated that there were some programmes which did not provide sufficient complete denture teaching. A previous investigation of removable partial denture teaching, 3 which also included the Irish dental schools, suggested that the mean number of cobaltchromium and acrylic resin removable partial dentures made by students was three and two respectively. However, this present study has shown that most students may only be making one cobalt-chromium based removable partial denture as those schools that have requirements, state at least one.…”

“…A relatively small proportion of dentists reported placing 1 to prescribed. 9 Not surprisingly, more acrylic dentures were made in NHS general practices than in specialist private practices. A survey of 15 dental schools regarding teaching of removable partial dentures showed the average number of cobalt chromium and acrylic dentures made by students to be three and two, respectively, and most responses showed concerns regarding the suitability of the patient for undergraduates.…”

“…19 Notwithstanding this, it is important that dental school curricula remain evidence-based and keep pace with current developments in clinical practice. It is not in the best interest of the new dentist if the clinical environment they experienced at dental school has lagged behind the new clinical settings that they enter on graduation.…”
