An evaluation of the preclinical prosthodontic training at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Bergen, Norway. Abstract Text:

The curriculum of the dental faculty at the University of Bergen was revised and a new curriculum was implemented in 2000. The first candidates graduated in 2003. In the new curriculum the theoretical teaching consists of an extended integrated lecture series in prosthodontics and biomaterials. The revised laboratory course includes an increased number of tooth preparations performed on phantom heads solely. Newer types of preparations based on bonding technique, such as ceramic crowns, veneers and inlays, have also been introduced. As a consequence of the reduced time allocated to the course, the amount of dental technical work has been considerably reduced. Demonstrations of practical procedures are video-based. Several theoretical and practical tests are carried out during the course. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of the alterations made, by comparing former students' opinions on different aspects of the two curricula. A questionnaire was mailed to the students graduated in 2003 with the new curriculum and graduates in 1997 and 2000 with the 'old' curriculum. The results indicate that the alterations tended to improve the students' evaluations of some aspects of the course. In addition, the new curriculum appeared to be more relevant for the succeeding work in the clinic.
