Abstract
The author analyses some quantitative and qualitative aspects of the above mentioned problem. The quantitative aspects selected and analysed by the author are: 1. The number of students in a group on one instructor, and 2. The number of cases on one student. The author mentions some observations and ideas based on his personal experience, and proposes a reorganization of the traditional lectures, and the introduction of the seminar teaching. He proposes groups of 6—7 students per one instructor as an optimum in our conditions, and defines a minimum of patient treatment per student. Among the qualitative elements the author elaborates on: 1. Doctrinism and variations in the presentations of different teachers, 2. Teaching aids as a complement to the clinical exercises, 3. The effect of the number of clinical lessons on one teacher, 4. The instruments and apparatuses for the clinical exercises. In the conclusion the author proposes some points which should be observed in the teaching of prosthetic dentistry.
