Introduction

The Commission on Dental Accreditation has established a commitment to assess all programs sponsored by dental schools concurrently whenever possible.

With one exception, a seven-year site visit cycle for accreditation review applies to all dental, advanced dental, and allied dental disciplines. Programs in the discipline of oral and maxillofacial surgery are evaluated on a five-year cycle.
