Several schools used a preclinical training model, and most students considered this useful. Some students considered their knowledge about forceps and elevators insufficient (6\u201360%), as well as their preparation for complications (5\u201360%). Students usually had received education in forceps and elevator techniques. Inclusion of (non)surgical removal of retained roots and surgical removal of third molars showed a wide variety between dental schools. Less than half of the students reported education in surgical removal of impacted teeth. Students from four of the 23 dental schools felt insufficiently prepared in tooth extraction (Likert scale \u2a7d3).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>There is a wide variation among European dental schools in teaching programs of tooth extraction and the rating of these programs by students.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1038\/bdjopen.2015.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,22]],"date-time":"2015-10-22T13:43:56Z","timestamp":1445521436000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Tooth extraction education at dental schools across Europe"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Henk S","family":"Brand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlijn C J","family":"van der Cammen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie M E","family":"Roorda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacques A","family":"Baart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"BFbdjopen20152_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.2009.00609.x","volume":"14","author":"J Cowpe","year":"2010","unstructured":"Cowpe J, Plasschaert A, Harzer W, Vinkka-Puhakka H, Walmsley AD .
