Accreditation of education is very important for maintaining and improving education quality. With the development of modern dental education, more and more attention is being paid to accreditation of dental education in China. Current accreditation of dental education in China is called "dental education evaluation". By using a systematic review, this paper aims to provide the general profile of the standards and process of dental education evaluation in China (DEEC).
A systematic review on DEEC was performed, CAJD and VIP databases were employed to identify all literatures which were relevant to DEEC. Profile and features of DEEC were compared with those of the Accreditation Standards for Dental Education Programs of the USA (ASDEPU).
The current standards for the evaluation are composed of six modules and twenty-four items, the evaluation process consists of three stages There was some difference between DEEC and its American counterparts.
Accreditation on dental education is very important for the maintenance and improvement of education quality. As the primary form of dental education accreditation, DEEC is basically suitable for current dental education conditions in China, however, in order to keep pace with the changing conditions, both the standards and actions of DEEC should often be revised.
教育认证对于维持和提高教育质量非常重要。随着现代牙科教育的发展，中国越来越重视牙科教育认证。中国目前的牙科教育认证被称为“牙科教育评估”。本文旨在通过系统评价，呈现中国牙科教育评估（DEEC）的标准和流程概况。
对DEEC进行系统评价，利用中国学术期刊全文数据库（CAJD）和维普资讯中文科技期刊数据库（VIP）检索与DEEC相关的所有文献。将DEEC的概况和特点与美国牙科教育项目认证标准（ASDEPU）进行比较。
现行评估标准由六个模块和二十四个项目组成，评估过程包括三个阶段。DEEC与其美国同行之间存在一些差异。
牙科教育认证对于维持和提高教育质量非常重要。作为牙科教育认证的主要形式，DEEC基本适用于中国目前的牙科教育状况，然而，为了跟上不断变化的形势，DEEC的标准和行动都应经常修订。
