This information provides a rudimentary profile of continuing dental education in US dental schools. Some schools have wide-ranging, time-tested programs, whereas others have initiated programs only recently, yet over half of the schools mentioned that there still was an unfilled need for continuing dental education in their locality. To meet the need for quality programs in the future, the great majority of the schools (49) indicated that, although the nature and level of evaluation was open to discussion, a program of accreditation or evaluation is definitely necessary and should be implemented in the future.
这些信息提供了美国牙科学校继续牙科教育的基本概况。一些学校拥有广泛且经过时间考验的项目，而其他学校则是最近才启动相关项目，然而超过半数的学校提到，它们所在地区对继续牙科教育仍存在未满足的需求。为了满足未来对高质量项目的需求，绝大多数学校（49所）表示，尽管评估的性质和水平有待讨论，但认证或评估项目绝对必要，应在未来实施。
