Abstract
The author reports on some objective and subjective limitations in young dental practitioners when they begin to work in the practice. He thinks that the main reason for these are the inadequate capacities at our faculties for the clinical exercises, and the lack of possibilities to organize a period of adequate training in the health service. The measures to be taken to improve the knowledge of the graduate students the author divided into three groups: the first includes a new orientation of the teaching programme towards the social medicine with a greater emphasis put upon the clinical education; second, to acquire the necessary skills through a one - year training in health institutions of a didactic character. Third, to adjust the network of the health service to the epidemiological situation of dental and oral pathology in our country. The author describes his own method for the calculation of the number of therapeutists needed, en the basis of the epidemiological data.
