The first report published by the CECDO was released in October 1994. It was on Dental Specialties and Continuing Professional Education. Since then a number of other reports and documents have been published. It is the intention to add all these reports to this website. At present the following reports/discussion documents are available.

In order to view these reports, please click on the PDFs below. It should then be possible to download them and print them out.

In 2011, CDOs from 19 EU Member States contributed descriptions to the publication – A practical resource to help in the support of non-UK EEA qualified dental practitioners practising in the UK. This publication was updated in 2012. It describes the differences in practice across the 19 EU Member States and can be accessed via the heading ” EEA Dentists Information” from www.oxforddeanery.nhs.uk/dental_school/eea_dentists_information.aspx

Between 2009 and 2013, many CDOs from some EU and EEA Member States and European countries outside the EEA have published descriptions of the system for the provision of oral healthcare in their countries.
