Dental school graduates have a choice of a variety of career paths after graduation. Besides private practice students can work in research, hospital care, and academia. The goal of dental students is not only to be competent clinicians, but also to be able to delineate the different career pathways beyond dental school. Our aim is to provide a framework for dental students to use so that they can explore variousopportunities after dental school. We have formulated a template that consists of a series of questions that show different alternatives that in turn will help students decide their path beyond graduation. Thisframework will provide dental students with an organized tool to weigh the pros and cons of where to establish themselves and it will expose them to different career paths after graduation

This article aims to find out how the dental students at New York University College of Dentistry (NYU CD) evaluate the balance between the amount of theory taught and practice time allotted in cavity preparation presented in General Dentistry Simulation I so that recommendations to improve the curriculum can be formulated. An IRB approved anonymous six-question survey questionnaire was distributed to the dental students in the second (D2), year at NYUCD over a 3 year period. The questionnaire consisted of scaled responses so as to gain insight into the undergraduate opinion and their perception of whether the amount of theory and practice of cavity preparation presen ted in General Dentistry Simulation I was sufficient. Overall, the majority of the dental students felt that there was enough theory and practice for cavity preparation. Each succeeding second year students wanted more practice time

An IRB approved anonymous six-question survey questionnaire was distributed to the dental students in the second (D2), third (D3) and fourth (D4) year at NYUCD.

Overall, the majority of the dental students felt that there was enough theory and practice for cavity preparation. The second year students want more theory and the third year students want more practice time.

Hemophilia is an inherited x-linked recessive disorder. It is known popularly as "The Royal Disease," as it has affected many of the royal families of Europe by virtue of Queen Victoria being a carrier for the gene and, subsequently, passing it on to her offspring. They, in turn, married and had children with other royal families of Europe. Hemophilia is certainly not limited to royalty. There are many hemophiliacs living in our communities, and they must receive both proper dental home-care education and dental treatment in order to prevent possibly life-threatening emergency dental episodes. Individuals with hemophilia pose different management issues to the dental professional. The various precautions and modifications that must be taken in order to ensure the safe delivery of dental care to hemophiliac dental patients are discussed.
