The Effect of Dental Geriatric Curricula on Attitudes toward the Elderly.

Mann, Jonathan; And Others

Journal of Dental Education, v52 n9 p516-18 Sep 1988

A study of recent dental school graduates' attitudes toward the elderly suggests that those attitudes may have little to do with formal dental curriculum elements in geriatric dentistry, and that newly trained professionals' attitudes do not differ greatly from those of professionals trained before geriatric dental curriculum was widespread.
