At the present time Senegal has two types of dental education: a full university training for dentists and a training programme for operating dental auxiliaries. The teaching objectives of the Institute of Dentistry and Stomatology were defined in such a way that these two grades work together in a public health team trained in accordance with the general principles of a common education in preventive and social dentistry. This dental education system which has received the full support of WHO and is backed by the educational and hess in all the African countries which send students for training in Dakar. This success is undoubtedly due to the fact that the system is designed to train personnel adapted to the special problems found in Africa, with a realistic approach to local conditions, and capable of providing effective help for the African communities whose dental health needs have for too long been neglected.
目前，塞内加尔有两种牙科教育类型：针对牙医的完整大学培训以及牙科辅助操作人员培训项目。牙科学院的教学目标设定为，使这两个级别人员能在按照预防和社会牙科共同教育的一般原则进行培训的公共卫生团队中协同工作。这种牙科教育体系得到了世界卫生组织的全力支持，并受到所有将学生送到达喀尔培训的非洲国家教育机构的支持。这一成功无疑归因于该体系旨在培养适应非洲特殊问题的人员，以务实的方式应对当地情况，并能够为长期以来牙科健康需求被忽视的非洲社区提供有效帮助。
