Abstract

When Griffith University in Queensland opened its doors to dental students in February 2004, it was the first new dental school in Australia for 57 years. Most people were sceptical that it would work. As history will record, five years later, the first dentists graduated from a fully accredited program on the Gold Coast on 19 December 2008.
