RESUMO
This report provides general guidelines for the structure of a curriculum, followed by specific advice on the principles of learning and teaching, the process of restructuring and change leadership and management. It provides examples of several educational philosophies, including vertical and horizontal integration. It discusses the use of competence, learning outcomes, level of degree and assessment and provides a number of recommendations. It does not seek to be prescriptive of time allocation to disciplines within a curriculum. Although this report has been written primarily for those who will develop an undergraduate curriculum, the information may be sufficiently generic to apply to the recent development in graduate entry ('shortened dental' or 'accelerated') courses and to postgraduate degree planning and higher education certificate or diploma courses for other dental care professionals (auxiliaries). The report may have a European bias as progress is made to converge and enhance educational standards in 29 countries with different educational approaches - a microcosm of global collaboration.

Maxillofacial surgery is a new medical discipline in Ethiopia. Between May 1991 and December 1992, 108 patients with maxillofacial tumours were treated in our Department. These cases are analysed according to their age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological classification of benign and malignant tumours. More males (5.5:1) had malignant tumours than females. The age distribution of malignant tumours showed that most patients were under the age of 51. Histological classification of benign tumours revealed that fibromas and haemangiomas are common (7 cases each) and lymphoma, osteoma and Warthin's tumour are rare (1 case each). Almost all patients with giant cell tumour-like changes were female (11 out of 13). Two patients with Kaposi's sarcoma and 3 patients with non-specific lymphadenopathy of the neck and retroauricular lymph nodes have been proved to be HIV/AIDS infected.
