AimTo update the competences and learning outcomes and their evaluation, educational methods and education quality assurance for the training of contemporary specialists in periodontology, including the impact of the 2018 Classification of Periodontal and Peri‐implant Diseases and Conditions (2018 Classification hereafter) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs).MethodsEvidence was gathered through scientific databases and by searching for European policies on higher education. In addition, two surveys were designed and sent to program directors and graduates.ResultsProgram directors reported that curricula were periodically adapted to incorporate advances in diagnosis, classification, treatment guidelines and clinical techniques, including the 2018 Classification and the EFP CPGs. Graduates evaluated their overall training positively, although satisfaction was limited for training in mucogingival and surgical procedures related to dental implants. Traditional educational methods, such as didactic lectures, are still commonly employed, but they are now often associated with more interactive methods such as case‐based seminars and problem‐based and simulation‐based learning. The evaluation of competences/learning outcomes should employ multiple methods of assessment.ConclusionAn update of competences and learning outcomes of specialist training in periodontology is proposed, including knowledge and practical application of the 2018 Classification and CPGs. Harmonizing specialist training in periodontology is a critical issue at the European level.

牙周病学和种植牙专业培训计划的结构、管理和交付


目的更新当代牙周病学专家培训的能力和学习成果及其评估、教育方法和教育质量保证，包括 2018 年牙周病和种植体周围疾病和病症分类（2018 年分类）和欧洲牙周病学联合会 （EFP） 临床实践指南 （CPG） 的影响。方法通过科学数据库和搜索欧洲高等教育政策收集证据。此外，还设计了两项调查并发送给项目主管和毕业生。结果项目主管报告说，课程定期调整，以纳入诊断、分类、治疗指南和临床技术方面的进步，包括 2018 年分类和 EFP CPG。毕业生对他们的整体培训给予了积极评价，尽管对与种植牙相关的粘膜龈和外科手术的培训满意度有限。传统的教育方法，如说教式讲座，仍然被广泛采用，但它们现在通常与更具互动性的方法相关联，例如基于案例的研讨会以及基于问题和基于模拟的学习。能力/学习成果的评估应采用多种评估方法。结论提出了牙周病学专业培训能力和学习成果的更新，包括 2018 年分类和 CPG 的知识和实际应用。协调牙周病学专业培训是欧洲层面的一个关键问题。
