A clinical audit of the comprehensive care dentistry model in the internship clinics of a dental school in Pakistan

The present study suggested the need to revise dental education modes from discipline-driven numerical requirements to a patient-centred comprehensive care curriculum for the timely professional grooming of dental graduates. CCD positively influences the quality of student learning as well as patient care. Students and patients experience a better learning and treatment experience respectively within this system. In a resource limited country like Pakistan, there are still hindrances in resources and acceptance within faculty for this system but with perseverance and modifications as per feasibility of each dental school, this system may prove to be very successful. Curricular modification may be required for inculcation of this system, within evolving dental education.
