Abstract: As emphasized by the CODA standards, in-depth teaching of prognosis of oral disorders and treatment complexity is crucial in the predoctoral education. When and how these topics are taught is left to each school to decide independently. This talk will explain the educational methods and tools that U.S. dental schools are currently using to teach tooth prognosis and treatment complexity determination and have open discussion among the educators. This talk will also introduce the process of designing the study and the outcome of national survey on current educational practices in tooth prognosis and determination of treatment complexity in U.S. dental schools.
