The variety of evaluation methods used in American dental schools illustrates that little uniformity exists. Only through a continuing program of evaluation can the strengths and weaknesses of any course be identified. Few generalizations can be made that are valid for all dental schools; this suggests that each school and its faculty members utilize methods of evaluation that are developed on a local level. The lack of uniformity in the evaluation process of the schools surveyed may also serve as an indicator for the lack of uniformaty of cirriculum. Development of clearly defined objectives would be beneficial in establishing reliable methods of evaluation. When such evaluations are analyzed, the need for changes in the curriculum becomes apparent. It should be noted that with every change, whether it be in the students, the faculty, or the cirriculum, a new evaluation becomes necessary.
美国牙科学院所使用的评估方法多种多样，这表明几乎不存在统一标准。只有通过持续的评估项目，才能确定任何课程的优点和缺点。很少有适用于所有牙科学院的普遍结论；这表明每所学校及其教职员工都采用在当地制定的评估方法。所调查学校评估过程中缺乏统一性，这也可能表明课程缺乏统一性。制定明确的目标将有助于建立可靠的评估方法。当对这些评估进行分析时，课程改革的必要性就会显现出来。应该注意的是，每一次变革，无论是学生、教师还是课程方面的变革，都需要进行新的评估。
