  • Consideration of existing practices and potential implementation challenges.

    • Main Results:

    • Key recommendations include revising admissions, integrating basic and behavioral sciences, expanding clinical competencies (endodontics, periodontics, etc.), and emphasizing diagnosis.
    • Proposed changes involve initiating student group practices, interdisciplinary training, extending curriculum duration, and establishing residencies.
    • Reorganization of clinics, improved auxiliary utilization, and ultimate integration of dentistry into medicine are suggested.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing these recommendations requires addressing financial constraints and external forces.
    • Curricular reform can lead to dental practitioners better equipped to meet public health needs.
    • A thoughtful, evolutionary approach to curriculum redesign is essential for advancing primary care dentistry.
