Abstract

Introduction: Historically, the sciences doctorates health specific has been of
investigative type, where a doctoral thesis providing a scientific novelty and some
minimal examinations are the exercises enough to grant such doctorate. This
method creates a slow scientific training and mostly self-taught and is not totally
optimal when the aim is to train sciences doctors for a short period of time, that is,
in a mean of 5 years. Here the international trend is the implementation of
curricular doctorates guaranteeing a more effective, thoughtful, homogeneous,
individualized and tutorial scientific training process.
Objectives: To assess the degree need of implementation of contribution curricular
doctorate en the career of Stomatology.
Methods: A statistical analysis was carried out of the doctorate production in
stomatologic sciences and a description of results achieved by the creation of
Degrees Stomatology Commission.
Results: In past 35 years 54 stomatologists has been trained as medical or
stomatologic sciences. The percentage of stomatologists with scientific degree
outside of the capital is very scant. The rhythm of sciences doctor's production of
the National Commission of Stomatology degrees was qualified as low.
Conclusions: The results achieved demonstrated the need and feasibility of
elaboration and implementation of a cooperation curricular doctorate for
Stomatology.
