Results of a survey of complete denture procedures taught in American and Canadian dental schools: an update.

Dental educators carry a heavy burden of responsibility. Principles and procedures are usually deeply inculcated in students by their teachers, which has a wide-spread effect on the future of dentists and patients. Prosthodontic treatment of edentulous patients, like any other branch of art and science, is not static; but viable, moving, and improving. Constant reevaluation of current and future programs should be made by all teachers who are responsible for prosthodontic education.
