Anyone who holds a dental diploma is obliged to undergo continuing education on a permanent basis. According to the Continuing Education Guidelines of the SSO (Swiss Dental Association) the mandatory period of continuing education comprises an average of 80 hours per year, with 30 hours self-study being credited automatically. The remaining 50 hours are to be taken in the form of scientific and or practical sessions during events such as conferences, courses, lectures, seminars, etc. Each year 10% of all dental practice owners in Switzerland are called upon by the SSO to submit their certificates of continuing education.
The Carl Zeiss Academy provides its students after each event with a certificate that is honoured by the SSO.

Rules of dental continuing education differ from state to state. Dental professionals should always verify the specific requirements for re-licensure of the State Dental Board in the state in which they are licensed. Many states have specific restrictions on the number of CE credits that may be earned through self-instructional online courses. Please check with your licensing state regarding exact requirements for your State Board of Dental Examiners.
