Free movement of dental practitioners between the United Kingdom and The Netherlands presents no registration problems. Difficulties still exist for the registration of orthodontic specialists, but these should be solved with the introduction of the specialist register in Britain. Information is presented here which describes the mechanism for registration.

Aims The purpose of the study was to apply established methods to survey reasons for the placement and replacement of crowns in general dental practice in the United Kingdom. Materials and Methods One hundred and twenty-eight general dental practitioners were recruited. Participants recorded the principal reason for the provision of each initial and replacement crown they provided over a 12-week period. Results Overall, data were collected from 92 practitioners in respect of 1714 patients and 2164 crowns, of which 1452 (67%) were initial placements and 712 (33%) replacements. The teeth most frequently crowned were maxillary incisors (33%), with 72% of the crowns surveyed being of the porcelain bonded to metal variety. Overall 64% of the initial placement crowns were provided because of restoration failure (26%) or tooth fracture (38%). The most common reason for crown replacement was crown failure (27%). Conclusion It is concluded that surveys of the type reported may provide new insights into the reasons for and pattern of provision of initial placement and replacement crowns in clinical practice. In this study the most common reason for the provision of initial placement crowns was tooth fracture. The most common reason for the replacement of crowns, notably porcelain jacket crowns, was crown fracture.

A case is presented for a two year basic specialty training in orthodontics. This has been done in the belief that orthodontic care in the United Kingdom will be provided for the forseeable future by general dental practitioners, specialist orthodontic practitioners and consultant orthodontists. It is suggested that any reduction in the numbers trained would be outweighed by the improvement in standards.

Behavioural Management

Background: Paediatric specialist dental practitioners are often faced with the challenge of disruptive behaviour or refusal to comply with treatment. Behaviour management skills are an essential component of their role. However, little is known of the confidence or competence of practitioners in these approaches. Aim: To identify paediatric dentists’ knowledge of behavioural management principles as applied to paediatric dentistry. Method: Postal questionnaire survey of all specialists in Paediatric Dentistry on the General Dental Council UK register (n = 234), using the Knowledge of Behavioural Principles as Applied to Children Questionnaire (KBPACQ; O'Dell, 1979) adapted for the dental setting. Information was also gathered on experience in using behavioural management techniques and demographics. Results: Responses were received from 105 practitioners (45%). Participants gave the correct answer, on average, to 38% of the items (range 0 to 75%). Conclusion: Knowledge of behavioural principles amongst paediatric dentists in the United Kingdom is poor, despite their widespread reported use of such techniques.
