Responsibility for Teaching Pain Control in U.S. Dental Schools.

Smith, Peter B.; Campbell, Robert L.

Journal of Dental Education, v57 n1 p25-26 Jan 1993

A national survey of 53 dental schools found most were not interested in developing a separate division or department of dental anesthesiology. Of those with a dentist anesthesiologist responsible for teaching pain control, all have or favor such a division. Less than one-third employ professionals limiting their practice to anesthesiology.
