Abstract
In the Netherlands, the dentistry is an academic study. For younger colleagues, it is taken for granted, while for the older ones, it was a fiercely fought milestone achieved in 1947. Therefore, in 1997, we commemorate fifty years of dentistry as an academic study, a reason for the editorial team to ask several authors to contribute to the Dutch Journal of Dentistry on this theme. The central question is: what has the academicization of the study of dentistry yielded for the field, for the format and content of the educational program, and for the practicing dentist themselves?
