CED Survey on undesirable effects caused by tooth whitening or bleaching products

EU Manual of Dental Practice

The EU Manual of Dental Practice, commissioned by the CED, first published in May 2004 and updated in November 2008, aims to provide comprehensive and detailed information for dentists who are considering working in another country. It has been written as a practical “handbook” in which information is easy to find and understand, and is aimed at dentists, dental students, policy makers and others interested in the regulatory environment for dentistry in the EU.

The latest edition of the EU Manual of Dental Practice describes the legal and ethical regulations, dental training requirements, oral health systems and the organisation of dental practice in 32 European (EU and EEA) countries, including Croatia, which is due to join the EU next year.

The practising arrangements, the regulatory frameworks and systems within which dentists work in the respective countries are compared. There is also country specific information on the dental specialities that are recognised, along with details of where such training is available and duration.

The guide also contains information on other dental care professionals, with a list of those which are recognised, their training, the procedures they are allowed to carry out, and the rules within which they can legally practise.

The 2008 edition also contains (for the first time) information about tooth whitening, ionising radiation rules and hazardous waste regulations, as well as data on caries levels (in children), edentulousness and fluoridation.
