The competency approach to education requires demonstration of a set of knowledge, skills, and values appropriate to the current practice situation. The Commission on Dental Accreditation requires that dental educational programs provide evidence that predoctoral programs, postgraduate dental education, dental hygiene, and specialty programs provide evidence that their programs make it possible for candidates to achieve competence, assess competence and provide remediation, and deny degrees or certificates to those who do not possess competence. All nine specialty programs recognized by the American Dental Association require additional periodic assessment for continued competence. These programs continue to experiment with cost-effective means for assessing competence at higher levels and on a continuing basis. Dental education programs also require demonstrations of on-going competence in the areas of teaching and scholarship, typically through formal peer-review processes.
教育的能力本位方法要求展示出与当前实践情况相适应的一系列知识、技能和价值观。牙科认证委员会要求牙科教育项目提供证据，证明博士前项目、研究生牙科教育、口腔卫生项目以及专科项目能够让候选人具备能力、评估能力并提供补救措施，同时拒绝向不具备能力的人授予学位或证书。美国牙科协会认可的所有九个专科项目都需要进行额外的定期评估以保持能力。这些项目继续试验以具有成本效益的方式在更高水平上持续评估能力。牙科教育项目还要求通过正式的同行评审过程等方式，展示在教学和学术领域的持续能力。
