A questionnaire was sent to every American dental school and each state and regional testing agency, requesting information on the teaching of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) and its inclusion in the requirements for state dental licensure. The data indicates that 81 percent of the schools teach a course in BCPR and the remaining 19 percent may do so in the future. Presently, 5 states require certification in BCPR for licensure and 17 states indicated they will require BCPR certification shortly.
