Adolescent dentistry programs: a survey of United States dental schools. 1984

H E Strassler, and E Romberg

The dental care needs of the adolescent have not been recognized as a distinct area of education and treatment. A survey was sent to United States dental schools to determine the number of schools with adolescent dentistry programs and how these programs are organized. The results suggest that dental schools are beginning to incorporate adolescent dentistry as a separate entity. Greater attention is required for teaching of this topic in the future.
