The teaching of OMS to dental students in Australia & New Zealand was surveyed. Generally the established schools had well developed curricula with good didactic and clinical experience conducted by specialist OMS educators. There was a much greater array of teaching in some of the newer schools with some appearing to barely meet the current minimalist professional competencies of the ADC . The critical element was whether or not the school was associated with a speciality OMS Unit at a Teaching Hospital. Proposals addressing these deficiencies are presented.
