The challenges of dental laboratory technology education: will it survive? 1998

Dental Laboratory Technology Department, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, USA.

Accredited formal educational programs in dental laboratory technology are now under pressures at levels they have never undergone before. Already pushed to the point where many have had to close their doors, the remainder are struggling to survive with already strained resources. Whether or not they will be able to maintain their existence will depend upon their ability to attract quality students, provide them with a good, up to date education, and do so with ever increasing efficiency.
