A two-phase survey was conducted with 82 persons identified as having special knowledge in geriatric dentistry. In Phase 1, they were asked to list competencies required of the geriatric dentist. In Phase 2, they were asked to rate the relative importance of 150 competencies for five different educational settings: dental school, general practice residency, prosthodontic specialty program, geriatric fellowship program, and continuing education. The resulting compendium of objectives suggests that geriatric dentistry should become integrated into general dentistry, with relatively few competencies reserved for specialists.
对82名被认定为在老年牙科领域有专业知识的人员进行了两阶段调查。在第一阶段，要求他们列出老年牙医所需的能力。在第二阶段，要求他们对150项能力在五种不同教育环境中的相对重要性进行评分：牙科学院、全科住院医师培训、口腔修复专科项目、老年医学进修项目和继续教育。由此产生的目标纲要表明，老年牙科应融入普通牙科，为专科医生保留的能力相对较少。
