Dental education has evolved tremendously across the globe over the past few years. The aim of dental undergraduate education is to produce a competent dentist. Many students feel the need to work as an ‘apprentice’ with another dentist until they gain confidence and additional skills which can otherwise be taught in the learning years at dental school.
