The present state of education in forensic odontology is surveyed. Courses in the subject within dental schools are directed mainly towards dental students (lectures, seminars, demonstrations), but also towards chairside assistants, dental hygienists and laboratory technicians. Extra-mural postgraduate education is directed towards private practitioners, but includes community dental health officers and colleagues serving in the defence forces; the question of 'qualification' is discussed. Finally, a wide range of non-dental personnel is approached (medical and law students, community health officers, forensic medical experts, police technicians etc.). The authors concur that independent departments of forensic odontology are now needed at all major dental schools; only here can the manpower and the facilities be developed to cope with this wide spectrum of education, and only here can recognized academic positions be ensured for those who--together with other specialists--must handle an increasing extra-mural case load, from which all material for education and research is subsequently to be derived.
本文对法医牙科学的教育现状进行了调查。牙科学院内该学科的课程主要面向牙科学生（讲座、研讨会、示范教学），但也面向椅旁助手、口腔保健员和实验室技术员。校外研究生教育面向私人执业者，但也包括社区牙科保健员和在国防部队服役的同行；文中讨论了“资格”问题。最后，还涉及了广泛的非牙科人员（医科和法律专业学生、社区卫生官员、法医专家、警察技术员等）。作者们一致认为，所有主要牙科学院现在都需要独立的法医牙科学系；只有在这里才能发展人力和设施以应对如此广泛的教育需求，也只有在这里才能确保那些与其他专家一起必须处理日益增加的校外病例量的人员获得公认的学术职位，而所有教育和研究材料都将来源于这些病例。
