The Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE) makes recommendations regarding the skills graduates of European dental schools need to achieve and advises dental schools regarding necessary changes to be made to the curriculum. In 2010 to 2011, a survey was conducted in German-language dental schools to validate the curricula and goals of preclinical prosthodontic programs with regard to laboratory work.
The survey was mailed to the course instructors of the preclinical programs at 37 dental schools. Of these, 35 schools returned the completed survey, resulting in a response rate of 95%.
Bent wire, wax-up exercises, metal-ceramic single crowns, fixed dental prostheses, cast metal single crowns, temporary removable dental prostheses, and full dentures were part of the dental laboratory work at most schools; however, most instructors considered laboratory work as less important, and there were few similarities among the programs in this area. According to the instructors responsible for preclinical education, honing of fine motor skills, realistic self-assessment, and the ability to work independently were the main goals of the programs.
The results of this survey show that with regard to laboratory work, there were more differences than similarities among preclinical prosthodontic programs at German-language dental schools, contrary to the recommendations of the ADEE. These findings should be taken into account when program reforms are planned.
欧洲牙科教育协会(ADEE)就欧洲牙科学校毕业生需要掌握的技能提出建议,并就课程所需的变革向牙科学校提供建议。2010年至2011年,对德语区牙科学校进行了一项调查,以验证临床前修复学项目在实验室工作方面的课程设置和目标。
该调查邮寄给了37所牙科学校临床前项目的课程教师。其中,35所学校返回了完整的调查问卷,回复率为95%。
弯制金属丝、蜡型制作练习、金属烤瓷单冠、固定义齿、铸造金属单冠、临时可摘局部义齿和全口义齿是大多数学校牙科实验室工作的一部分;然而,大多数教师认为实验室工作不太重要,并且在这一领域各项目之间几乎没有相似之处。根据负责临床前教育的教师的说法,精细运动技能的磨练、现实的自我评估以及独立工作的能力是这些项目的主要目标。
本次调查结果表明,在实验室工作方面,德语区牙科学校临床前修复学项目之间的差异多于相似之处,这与ADEE的建议相反。在规划项目改革时应考虑这些发现。
