A postal survey concerning clinical practice by general practitioners in Northern Ireland U.K. had a response rate of 71.2%. There were little differences in practice between chose who had graduated at the Dental School in Belfast (70%) and those who qualified elsewhere. Older dentists appeal‐ to undertake less ambitious dentistry and while this might be a reflection of their training, there were some practices of younger dentists such as not using a rubber dam for endodontic treatment which was certainly not taught to them at Dental School.
