The placement of resin composites in posterior teeth is now a common procedure in dental practice. The aim of this study was to investigate current teaching of this procedure in Canadian dental schools and to compare trends in teaching with those in the United States. This study complements other investigations in which we examined teaching of the use of posterior resin composites in dental schools in the United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom. A questionnaire was distributed by email to the faculty member in each of the 10 dental schools in Canada with responsibility for teaching the operative dentistry curriculum, including the placement of posterior resin composites. The response rate was 100%. More teaching of posterior resin composites was noted since the time of a survey in the late 1990s. The amount of teaching and clinical experience in the use of posterior resin composites in Canadian dental schools seems to be higher than in dental schools in the United States. As noted in surveys of other countries, variation among Canadian teaching programs was found to persist in relation to techniques and technologies used.
树脂复合材料在后牙中的应用如今在牙科实践中是一种常见的操作。本研究的目的是调查加拿大牙科学校中该操作的当前教学情况，并将教学趋势与美国的进行比较。本研究补充了我们之前在美国、爱尔兰和英国牙科学校中对后牙树脂复合材料使用教学情况的其他调查。通过电子邮件向加拿大10所牙科学校中负责讲授口腔手术学课程（包括后牙树脂复合材料的应用）的教员发放了问卷。回复率为100%。自20世纪90年代末的一项调查以来，后牙树脂复合材料的教学更多了。加拿大牙科学校在后牙树脂复合材料使用方面的教学量和临床经验似乎高于美国的牙科学校。正如在其他国家的调查中所指出的，加拿大各教学项目在使用的技术和工艺方面仍存在差异。
