Abstract:
Questionnaires were mailed to registered specialists in dentistry with the purpose of soliciting their views on the SAMDC's requirement that at least two years in general practice should be a prerequisite for specialization in dentistry. The views of a group dentists in general dental practice were also obtained. The majority of respondents approved of the requirement. Time spent in general dental practice and age (1989) were also obtained. The purpose was to determine whether these factors would influence the specialists' proposals for the requirement of general dental practice experience.
