Summary. A survey was conducted of the dental schools in the UK, inquiring about the teaching of psychology, sociology, epidemiology and psychiatry to dental undergraduates. Epidemiology was the most frequently taught and assessed subject, followed by psychology and sociology. Overall, the results indicate an increased concern with and attention to behavioural sciences teaching.
