The past decade has seen an increasing demand for reforms of dental education that would produce a graduate better equipped to work in the rapidly changing world of the 21stcentury. Among the most notable curriculum changes implemented in dental schools is a move towards Problem­Based Learning (PBL). PBL, in some form, has been a feature of medical education for several decades, but has only recently been introduced into dental schools.
