Supplemental Documentation
In support of the Application for Recognition as an Interest Area of General Dentistry
By the Academy of Operative Dentistry
Background
General Dentistry is defined by the American Dental Association (ADA) as, “the evaluation,
diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases,
disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and
associated structures and their impact on the human body; provided by a dentist, within the scope
of his/her education, training and experience, in accordance with the ethics of the profession and
applicable law. (As adopted by the 1997 ADA House of Delegates).” An interest area in general
dentistry is, “a well-defined body of evidence-based scientific and clinical knowledge underlying
general dentistry, but is a more focused, complex and distinct field identified by advanced
knowledge, techniques and procedures.” Furthermore, “Today’s rapidly emerging technologies
and science are providing more sophisticated and complex solutions to problems encountered in
general dentistry. The advances are changing and enhancing the dental practice environment.
Recognizing this, the 2010 ADA House of Delegates adopted Criteria for Recognition of Interest
Areas in General Dentistry.”
The Academy of Operative Dentistry (AOD) defines Operative Dentistry as the field of general
dentistry that deals with the management of teeth, by direct or indirect means that are defective
through disease, trauma, wear, and/or abnormal development, or are unesthetic, to a state of
normal form, function, health, and appearance. The practice of dentistry in this area requires a
wide range of knowledge, from diagnosis, disease processes and prevention, and minimally
invasive clinical approaches; to biomaterials and other dental science disciplines as they apply to
this distinct and unique interest area limited to the hard calcified tissues of the oral cavity.
Believing that Operative Dentistry meets the criteria that the ADA has established for
recognition of interest areas of general dentistry, The AOD has submitted an application for
ADA recognition as such an interest area.
In considering the Academy of Operative Dentistry’s application for recognition as an Interest
Area of General Dentistry, the Council on Dental Education and Licensure (CDEL) felt that the
application met Criteria 3, 4, and parts of 5; but failed to meet Criteria 1, 3, and parts of 5.
Concerning Criterion 1, it was determined that the application did not document that Operative
Dentistry was“in large part distinct from, or more detailed than, that of other areas of general dentistry
education and practice.” The Council also determined that “documentation presented did not sufficiently
describe how scientific dental knowledge in the area is substantive and distinct from other general
dentistry areas, such as predoctoral dental education.
Concerning Criterion 2, it was determined that “the body of knowledge described in the
application is not a distinct education area in general dentistry, but rather a series of one or more
techniques that are also included in pre-doctoral dental education, advanced general dentistry
education and general practice residency educational programs.” Furthermore, “The Council also
Page 1
determined that the referenced journals/texts do not identify specific advanced techniques and
procedures unique to the proposed general dentistry interest area.”
Concerning Criterion 5, it was determined that, “bullets 3-5 under the elements to be addressed
have been met.” However, “the body of knowledge described in the application is not a distinct
education area in general dentistry, but rather a series of one or more techniques that are
currently included in predoctoral dental education, advanced general dentistry education and/or
general practice residency educational programs.”
Discussion
General Response.
The advanced expertise in Operative Dentistry that can be achieved when pursuing an Operative
Graduate Program is currently taught in 9 programs with 2 or 3 year curricula. Since the original
application for recognition as an interest area of general dentistry, two additional graduate
residency programs in Operative Dentistry have enrolled their first residents: one at Tufts
University and the other at the University of Southern California. Operative Dentistry programs
emphasize the philosophy of minimally invasive dentistry and provide higher development of
scientific knowledge, critical thinking and advanced clinical skills to perform long lasting high
quality conservative and esthetic procedures, providing the patient with affordable tooth-
preserving treatment. In many instances this type of treatment can’t be provided by any other
specialists or by general practitioners, who do not have the advanced training, expertise and
specific clinical skills required. This formal residency training provides the operative dentist
with the following skills that distinguish them from the general dentist:
Extensive scientific and clinical knowledge in bonding, esthetic concepts and biomaterials
that provide the clinician the ability to deliver highly challenging restorative and esthetic
treatments in a conservative way that is more affordable and beneficial in preserving tooth
structure. Often when a higher level of expertise is needed, general dentists and specialists
refer patients to operative dentists for treatment that is not taught during dental school or
other residency programs. Also, operative dentists teach and lead the profession as faculty at
almost all ADA accredited dental schools and through continuing education courses based on
these topics.
Graduates from programs in Operative Dentistry not only have the training to teach the
bonding of direct and indirect restorations to the pre-doctoral level but many also conduct
research in the area of adhesive dentistry which advances the scientific knowledge and
improves material properties. Graduating Operative Dentistry residents extend their
knowledge of adhesives to other dental schools and advanced programs around the USA and
the world.
Graduates in Operative Dentistry have a pivotal role in the development and clinical
application of minimal invasive dentistry including caries risk assessment, non-surgical
management of caries through remineralization, infiltrative and caries inhibitory techniques,
Page 2
and tooth preserving caries removal. Operative dentists are the leaders in translating the
current research in Cariology into clinical applications and education.
Numerous Operative Dentistry graduates are recognized as pioneers and leaders in the dental
profession within the USA as well as around the world. Operative Dentistry leaders have
developed scientific evidence in the areas of bonding, composite resins, bleaching
procedures, glass ionomers, minimal invasive dentistry, modern management of caries, etc.
Operative dentists are involved in the development of new materials and serve as key opinion
leaders for industry and dental education.
During dental school training pre-doctoral dental students learn basic skills in Operative
Dentistry as well as basic skills in all the specialty areas of dentistry such as: Periodontics,
Endodontics, Oral Surgery, Pediatric Dentistry, Prosthodontics, etc. Recognized specialty
programs are necessary to gain advanced scientific knowledge and training in advanced
clinical procedures since dental school curriculum does not include the development of these
advanced skills. This is also true for Operative Dentistry. Residency educated operative
dentists collaborate with specialists to provide subgingival restorations, periodontal splinting,
non-vital bleaching, complex restoration of endodontically treated teeth, guidance on implant
placement, implant supported restorations, a variety of pediatric restorative procedures, core
buildups, resin bonding materials and techniques, crown repair, creating space by re-
contouring teeth, closing space with direct resin restorations, and detection of early carious
lesions and risk based remineralization treatment.
Dental school faculties are encouraged to have specialty training. The following statement is
an example of the expectations that one institution, the University of Iowa, has for their
Operative Dentistry faculty: “All full time faculty in the Department of Operative Dentistry
at Iowa have advance training in Operative Dentistry. We firmly believe that each field of
dentistry is best taught by those with advanced training in that particular domain. These
faculty are recognized for their teaching, research and clinical expertise. This is evident in the
large number of articles published in leading peer-reviewed journals, the research
presentations at national meetings, and in the many continuing education courses given both
nationally and internationally by the faculty. Many of the faculty have served or are serving
in leadership roles in dentistry, both locally and nationally. All of the faculty in the
department are active in private patient care and many are involved with basic, translational
and clinical research.”
The philosophy of Caries Management By Risk Assessment (CAMBRA) is an evidence-
based approach to preventing or treating dental caries at the earliest stages that has been
developed and put forward by operative dentists. Caries protective factors are biologic or
therapeutic measures that can be used to prevent or arrest the pathologic challenges posed by
the caries risk factors. CAMBRA has become a very important tool for the restorative team
to provide proper comprehensive management of dental caries.

Specific Response.
In specific response to the concerns regarding Criterion 1, two issues need to be addressed:
1. The ways in which Operative Dentistry is distinct from other areas of general dentistry
and the degree to which it is distinct from other general dentistry areas, such as “pre-
doctoral dental education.”
2. The substantial extent and distinctive nature of scientific knowledge concerning
Operative Dentistry.
In response to the concerns regarding Criterion 2, three issues need to be addressed;
1. The distinct nature of the Operative Dentistry education area in general dentistry.
2. The conclusion that Operative Dentistry is, “a series of one or more techniques that are
also included in pre-doctoral dental education, advanced general dentistry education and
general practice residency educational programs.”
3. The determination by the Council that, “the referenced journals/texts do not identify
specific advanced techniques and procedures unique to the proposed general dentistry
interest area.”
In response to the concerns regarding Criterion 5, two areas need to be addressed:
1. The distinct nature of the body of knowledge in Operative Dentistry as it relates to s
distinct education area in general dentistry.
2. The position of the council that education in Operative Dentistry is a series of one or
more techniques that are currently included in predoctoral dental education, advanced
general dentistry education, and/or general practice residency educational programs.
In looking at these seven concerns, it seems that answering the following four questions will
address them all:
1. What makes Operative Dentistry, and the body of knowledge and education associated
with it, distinct from other areas of general dentistry?
2. Is there a significant breadth to the body of knowledge concerning Operative Dentistry?
3. Are there specific techniques and procedures unique to Operative Dentistry?
Page 5
4. Are the techniques of Operative Dentistry part of the pre-doctoral or PGY 1 and/or 2
general dentistry programs curricula in dental schools?
By addressing these four questions, it is hoped that the Council will come to understand why
Operative Dentistry, should be recognized as an area of interest in General Dentistry.
What makes Operative Dentistry, and the body of knowledge and education associated
with it, distinct from other areas of general dentistry?
The scope and body of knowledge of the interest area.
One key aspect of Operative Dentistry that sets it apart for other areas of general dentistry is
that the scope of Operative Dentistry is limited to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of
the hard tissues of the oral cavity, specifically the enamel and dentin tissues of the teeth.
This includes the scientific study of dental caries as an infectious disease, and the
development of techniques and materials to treat and prevent dental caries. Specialty areas
of dentistry, such as Periodontics and Endodontics, have focused on specific tissues of the
oral cavity such as the soft tissues of the periodontium and the pulp. Others specialty areas,
such as Oral Surgery, are devoted to surgical techniques and processes like the removal of
teeth, and orthognathic and maxillofacial surgical procedures. General dentists are exposed
to basics of these disciplines in their pre-doctoral education, but are not trained to be
qualified to perform the advanced procedures specialists perform. Similarly, general dentists
are not trained in pre-doctoral or PGY 1 or 2 general dentistry programs. Operative Dentistry
residency curricula address the treatment of complex restorative cases using advanced
clinical procedures, techniques, and materials that the general dentist is not trained to use.
The Department of Labor, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, and
Department of Health and Human Services all have occupational codes for operative dentists
that are completely unrelated to those of general dentists.
The body of knowledge included in the curricula of the 9 programs contain the following
Areas of Content, all of which are taught at an advanced level, beyond that taught at the pre-
doctoral level, and most of which are not taught in GPRs or AEGDs at the same level as in
Operative Dentistry residencies:
Cariology Biomaterials
Dental Anatomy Minimal Invasive Dentistry
Direct Restorations Indirect Restorations
Direct Esthetics Indirect Esthetics
CAD/CAM Dentistry Restorative Dental Materials

Education in the area.
Pre-doctoral.
All dental schools have as part of their academic organization a distinct faculty department,
division, section, or cadre devoted to Operative or Restorative Dentistry. This faculty is
responsible for teaching pre-doctoral courses in Dental Anatomy, Technique and Materials
Labs, Operative Dentistry, Basic Cariology, and, at some institutions, Dental Materials,
Preventive Dentistry and Basic Occlusion. At most schools, this faculty is led by trained
operative dentists.
Post-doctoral.
GPR and AEGD programs. The ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)
Standards for GPRs and AEGDs include Operative Dentistry as a separate and distinct
discipline along with Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Endodontics, and Oral Surgery, in which
advanced education is required. Based on observations of an Advanced Consultant to the
CODA who has carried out over 30 AEGD and GPR Site Visits, however, Operative
Dentistry is receives less emphasis in these post-doctoral programs than the ADA recognized
specialty areas. The extent of advanced training in Operative Dentistry in these programs is
usually limited to complex case treatment planning and execution, and, rarely, CAD/CAM
restorative dentistry.
Operative Dentistry Residency programs. At 9 dental schools, there is a section of the
Operative Dentistry faculty devoted to teaching a post-doctoral residency curriculum in
Operative Dentistry including the advanced disciplines listed above. 6 of these programs
award either a Master’s Degree or a Certificate, 2 award only a Master’s degree, and 1 offers
only a certificate. See the enclosed AEGD Table for more detailed information.
Continuing Dental Education. Emphasizing scientific research and evidence, Operative
Dentistry has an expanded knowledge of statistical analysis/methods/materials that the
general dental population does not. Operative dentists are called upon to teach general
practitioners the relevance of current and historical literature, and new developments in the
discipline. Gold Foil Study Clubs are thriving today as venues for operative dentists to
expand their clinical repertoire and improve their manual skills. The Academy of R.V.
Tucker Study Clubs and the Academy of Gold Foil Operators provide education at the post-
doctoral level that is not available in any other academic environment.
As a further consideration, the Federal Government recognizes operative dentists and their
education as a distinct category of dentists compared to general dentists. The Department of
Defense funds dentists to attend residency training in Operative Dentistry and makes a
Page 7
distinction between them and comprehensive or general dentists. The U.S. Navy, for
example, offers its own in-service GPR and AEGD programs, but also sends residents to
civilian Operative Dentistry residency programs every year. The Navy funds graduates of
Operative Dentistry residencies to challenge the Operative Dentistry Board certification
process, and pay annual board certification bonuses to federal dentists who achieve Board
Certified in Operative Dentistry.
Is there a significant breadth to the body of knowledge concerning Operative Dentistry?
Operative Dentistry has an extensive base of knowledge in the academic areas listed above.
Operative dentists are trained to conduct, publish, and evaluate research in the interest area that
general dentists are not trained to do. Operative dentists teach general dentists at the Pre-
doctoral, Post-doctoral, and Continuing Dental Education levels, emphasizing the evidence
pbased approach based on the current and historical literature.
A cursory search of the textbooks that address various aspects of the Operative Dentistry interest
area reveals at least 11 currently in print and available textbooks aimed at the per-doctoral level,
and more than 4 times that many address aspects of the area at the post-doctoral level, most
written by operative dentists. Examples are listed below, and, at least as many more, at both
levels, have been omitted out of space considerations. While there is overlap among textbooks
addressing the same topics, it is clear that there is a large amount of information and knowledge
that pertains to this interest area, and that while the knowledge base for the pre-doctoral level is
somewhat limited, the amount of knowledge available at the post-doctoral, level both in
textbooks and scientific articles, is quite significant, running to hundreds of textbooks, more than
20 journals, and thousands of scientific papers.
