		A frequent response by dental faculty is: Because state boards require amalgams and gold crowns as part of licensing examinations, and students must pass state boards to practice, schools have an obligation to prepare the student to practice, i.e., pass state boards.
		The dilemma for the schools is that dental education is traditionally based on validated clinical procedures, and cosmetic dentistry is moving too fast for evidence-based information to be included in the curriculum.
		This process would also allow observation of changes in dentistry and allow continuing evaluation of technologies that may need to be included in the dental school curriculum.
