Abstract

The undergraduate dental curriculum is undergoing rapid change and revision in dental schools worldwide. Decreasing edentulism, the advent of the clinical dental technician, and advances in technology (such as dental implantology) have led to changes in patient management and treatment options for general dental practitioners in New Zealand. The current undergraduate removable prosthodontic curriculum has seen very little change in past years at the School of Dentistry, University of Otago, and is under review to facilitate the teaching of general dental practice in the Final Year. A questionnaire-based survey of 150 general dental practitioners (response rate 74.6 percent) supported modification of the existing removable prosthodontics curriculum to improve its relevance to modern general dental practice. Integration of fixed and removable prosthodontic teaching was recommended.

摘要

全球范围内的牙科学院，本科牙科课程正在经历迅速的变革与修订。无牙症患者数量的减少、临床牙科技师的出现以及技术进步（如牙种植学），已促使新西兰普通牙科从业者的患者管理和治疗选择发生了变化。在过去几年里，奥塔哥大学牙科学院目前的本科可摘局部义齿修复课程几乎没有变化，现正接受审查，以便于在最后一年开展普通牙科实践教学。一项针对150名普通牙科从业者的问卷调查（回复率为74.6%）支持对现有的可摘局部义齿修复课程进行修改，以提高其与现代普通牙科实践的相关性。建议将固定义齿修复和可摘义齿修复教学相结合。
