The aim of this publication is to draw a comparison between dental studies in the EU and in Switzerland. For this purpose, Swiss students from the graduation years 2015-2018 were surveyed about their practical training. These results could be compared with figures from the EU. Of the 34 treatments compared, 26 were performed more often by Swiss students. In addition to the comparison with the EU area, it was also possible to determine that over two-thirds of the students felt well-prepared for the world of work. However, the students wished for more in-depth training in the areas of fixed prosthetics as well as surgery.
