A survey of U.S. dental schools was conducted in 2001 to determine the curricular structure, teaching philosophies, and techniques used in preclinical complete denture courses. ⋯ Preclinical complete denture educational programs vary from school to school, yet a large percentage of schools agree on certain topics. Only 28% of dental schools are incorporating new technologies, such as the internet, in their preclinical complete denture curriculum. Nineteen percent of dental schools are using only the Portrait denture teeth, which are newer than the Bioblend and Bioform teeth.
